MXR EVH Modern High Gain Pedal

The MXR EVH Modern High Gain Pedal delivers the aggressive, unapologetic high-gain tones developed in direct collaboration with Eddie Van Halen. Designed to capture EVH’s modern gain sound in raw, uncompromised form, this pedal offers tight low end, cutting mids, and saturated distortion that remains articulate even at extreme settings.

With a powerful EQ section, selectable low-frequency voicing, and an onboard noise gate, the EVH Modern High Gain is built for players who demand precision and control without sacrificing intensity. Whether pushing a clean amp or tightening up an already driven rig, this pedal provides a focused, commanding distortion voice built for modern rock and metal applications.
