New MXR EVH pedal

[Rex_Rocker]

Seems interesting! I do wonder if it's a distortion pedal or a dedicated preamp. If it's a pedal meant in front of a clean amp, my interest drops to 0, pretty much. But if it's a preamp... hmmm!!!

I have a couple Wampler distortion boxes, including a Pinnacle Deluxe, that sounds so much better thru the loop versus thru the front of my amp. So I dont see why this pedal couldnt be run the same way.

Cant hurt to try it both ways

Isn’t it just the red channel from the 5150 amp?

If they are trying to sell a more "modern" high-gain distortion, why don't they have someone play more modern riffs?

It's been a long time since EVH has been described as modern

The original has all the gain needed for any style and then some. This is just trying to cash in on the name. Hard pass
