Well, I've never professed to be an EVH guru, and have never really taken the time to analyze his tone as much as, say, David Gilmour's. However, from my limited knowledge and exposure to EVH's sound, I'd say that you could probably get by using the Metal Zone. Maybe using two distortions together? Might make a fatter sound.
Also, you'd probably want to heavily compress the signal, so if you can lay your hands on a compressor, it would likely help, although I've found that the MT-2's sound can sound pretty compressed at the right settings.
Oh, and I've never heard 5150... don't I suck?
... and that's all I have to say about that.
