Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.46% — somewhat different

Suited for metal, hard rock, and heavy alternative players who want versatile high-gain distortion with full EQ control.
The MXR EVH Modern High Gain is a signature distortion pedal developed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, designed to capture the high-gain amp character of the Van Halen 5150 amplifier in a compact stompbox format. The pedal was developed with Van Halen beginning in 2015 and delivers the scooped, tight, high-gain distortion associated with the 5150 amplifier, which became one of the most influential high-gain amp designs in rock and metal history. The EVH Modern High Gain covers modern high-gain hard rock and metal distortion territory with the frequency response and gain character associated with Eddie Van Halen stage tone.
