Eddie Van Halen is considered by the wider guitar world as one of the pioneering guitarists, responsible for numerous innovative techniques. With his 'sophisticated' technique, he inspired a vast number of young guitarists to develop their skills to a higher level. He is regarded as the greatest inspiration for some of the top guitarists of our time.

According to the standards of the era, Eddie Van Halen seemed to have come from the future, as his sound was unprecedented. The Phaser 90 pedal is characteristic of his unique sound. Dunlop, in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, redesigned and manufactured the MXR EVH 90 pedal, which, thanks to modern technology, delivers even better sound while faithfully replicating the aesthetics of his legendary guitar.
