The MXR Tom Morello Power 50 Overdrive pedal allows you to tap into the raging amp-based overdrive Tom Morello uses to fuel his signature tone. Despite being one of the most innovative guitarists from the last 30 years, Morello’s guitar rig has always been famously simple, relying on a trusty amp overdrive for his gnarly sonic signature. The Tom Morello Power 50 Overdrive re-creates the preamp stages of Morello’s amplifier, and gives you the same tone, gain, and presence controls. Complete with a built-in effects loop (placed before the presence and tone circuits, just like on Morello’s amp), the MXR Tom Morello Power 50 Overdrive pedal puts a half-stack’s worth of tonal tenacity on your pedalboard.
Despite his mastery at creating unique guitar tones and sonic textures, Tom Morello has relied on one single amplifier rig for over 30 years. Morello’s favored amp head, cabinet, and speakers have fueled his sonic style on 20-plus studio albums, and it’s all been lovingly re-created in the MXR Tom Morello Power 50 Overdrive. Delivering amp-style distortion and tone-shaping capabilities, the Power 50 Overdrive will serve you well whether you use it as an amp-in-a-pedal solution direct to a speaker emulator, or as a front end to send your favorite amplifier into a fit of rage.
Harmonically rich effects loop for iconic Morello tones
The Power 50 Overdrive’s built-in effects loop is configured just like it is on Morello’s amp of choice. The effects loop injects external effects pedals before the presence and tone circuits, giving your effects added harmonic bite. It’s the key to conjuring Morello’s signature wah tone — placing your wah in front of the Power 50 Overdrive offers a mellower effect; placing it in the effects loop gives it a more aggressive edge without sacrificing tonal balance.
