I put off buying this pedal for yours, and I honestly don’t know why. it’s a great sounding distortion classic rock and overdrive pedal. I read somewhere that it’s considered the blue channel on a 5150 amp so it pairs really nice with the 2 channel Iconic series from EVH giving you that 3rd channel. I have it in front of my 40 watt Iconic combo and it just mean! Great for tight rhythm or blistering leads. Strongly recommend this pedal to any Van Halen fan or something looking for a good tight distortion.

Proud owner of a Marshall origin 50 head and matching 2x12 cab. I run all mxr pedals and have been having trouble cracking the code from going from clean and clear to hot and spicy. I’ve tried eqs 10band and six band with different overdrive pedals for about a year now and let me tell that it was an expensive journey on my part. I’ll also tell you from my suffering and for lack of better words knowledge that this blows every boss and mxr right out of the water. You want just a little gain maybe playing some zeppelin or stones no problem output up gain down. You want to get a little more spicy maybe something like Metallica no problem start rolling in the gain and out with the mids. Who needs a Ibanez tube screamer when we live in 2022 it’s a outdated piece of technology. Say maybe your like myself who like pantera and you want to get all the gain but well darn your going to need a noise gate pffff. The evh 5150 already has one…… to say less this is the best pedal on the market for overdrive and you should look no further.

awesome EVH tones at any volume. Kicks the crap out of the Friedman BE-OD! I really like the detents on the knobs so you can dial in over the top stuff. The extra gain boost for single coils is nice too. I use it through a single channel Jet City JCA 20HV when I am not using my EVH amp. This pedal even gives the eve amp a run for the money

I got this a while ago and it really nails the EVH tones perfectly. I even had it plugged into a MG100DFX and it made that amp actually sound so much better than all the hate it gets. I found lots of distortions or overdrives couldnt nail that top in tight treble sound Eddie had until I got this thing, really punches the sound through and makes your amp scream...if you use 12" speakers that is haha

This solid pedal certainly packs a punch! With five knobs that can provide a variety of overdrive colour, I was able to get a great EVH sound out of this pedal. Very good construction and functionality. It's a great addition to my pedal collection.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
