MXR® EVH® MODERN HIGH GAIN PEDAL
Unleash the full force of your rig with the MXR EVH Modern High Gain Pedal. Designed in direct collaboration with Eddie Van Halen in 2015, this powerhouse of a device delivers EVH High Gain tone in raw, uncompromised and crushing form. It’s searing, it’s intense, and it’s razor sharp.

The Output and Gain knobs allow you to balance saturation and clarity, ensuring that the heaviest riffs retain definition. Meanwhile, dedicated Bass, Mid, and Treble controls shape your tonal character with exacting precision. From crunchy syncopated rhythms to fiery, harmonically rich solos, the EVH Modern High Gain Pedal equips you to take command of any mix.

When it’s time to push your leads over the edge, the Boost switch kicks the gain up to the next level. The 55Hz/80Hz switch toggles between a fatter or punchier low end, adapting seamlessly to any setup. And for maximum clarity at cranked output and gain levels, the Noise Gate control reins your signal in with just the right amount of discipline.

Tap into the unmatchable coupling of raw power and surgical articulation with the MXR EVH Modern High Gain Pedal.
