Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

MXR’s EVH Modern High Gain is a distortion pedal with dedicated Gain and Output controls, three-band EQ, selectable bass cutoff, boost, and adjustable noise gate. Set Bass Shift to 80Hz for the stated tighter low-end option or 55Hz for the alternate lower cutoff, then refine the rest of the response with Bass, Mid, and Treble. The Boost affects the front end and final gain stage, while the Gate control lets you set its threshold for high-gain rigs and louder setups.

Strong match

Who this is for

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere
