Description
The MXR TBM1 Tom Morello Power 50 delivers the fiercely articulate, heavy-hitting overdrive that shaped the legendary sound of an alt-rock icon. Meticulously voiced to replicate the exact preamp section of Morello’s customized half-stack, this commanding pedal transforms any clean amplifier into a percussive, high-gain powerhouse.

Highly responsive to your picking hand, it allows you to aggressively dig into heavy chordal grooves while maintaining the tight, punchy definition required for rhythmic, staccato playing and explosive solos.
DESCRIPTION:
For more than 30 years, the key component of Tom Morello’s raw, hard-hitting sonic voice has been his amp setup. The MXR Power 50 Overdrive captures the sound and functionality of that setup for use with any rig, whether you have a simple combo amp or a high-end custom stack.
The circuitry of the Power 50 Overdrive uses MOSFET technology to recreate the preamp stages of Tom’s amplifier for amp-like performance that’s uncanny in its ability to reproduce those big, gnarly tones.
Tom relies solely on his amplifier for his signature distortion tones, and when you step on the Power 50 Overdrive, you’ll understand why.
The Power 50 Overdrive is fitted with the same control interface as Tom’s amp, featuring Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Volume, and Presence knobs so that you can replicate his exact settings or tune the sound to your own taste.
