EVH's Legendary Chorus Effect
To achieve his legendary chorus effect on songs like "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and "Little Guitars," Eddie Van Halen relies on an equally legendary chorus pedal. MXR's EVH 5150 Chorus captures the sound of that classic effect with features tailored for modern rigs. A simple 3-knob layout makes this pedal a breeze to use. Input and Output Level switches optimize your signal-to-noise performance and achieve unity throughput gain. You also get switchable true/buffered bypass operation and Mono and Stereo outputs. Whether you use it to inject your playing with texture and dimension or combine it with high-gain tones for a way-huge sound, the 5150 Chorus is a pedalboard essential.
