Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An analog, EVH co-designed overdrive pedal that brings the 5150 amplifier’s blue-channel voice to a pedalboard, with 3-band EQ, boost, and Smart Gate controls.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking EVH-inspired brown-sound grind or modern 5150-style high gain
- Pedalboards that need adjustable gain, 3-band EQ, boost, and noise-gate control
- Use into a clean amp or in front of an already driven amp
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need an included power supply
- Rigs that require more than one 1/4-inch input or output
