Features We Love:

Authentic Amp Sound

Utilising MOSFET technology this pedal recreates the preamp stage of Tom's amplifier to produce big hard hitting tones that deserve attention. Step on this Power 50 Overdrive to understand the tone behind some of the biggest riffs of the modern era. 

Amp-Like Controls

Keeping with the theme of squeezing Tom's amplifier in to a tiny box MXR have fitted this pedal with the exact controls that appear on the amp. Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Volume, and Presence will help you nail Tom's tone while being versatile enough to give you a huge range of alternative tones.

Effects Loop

It wouldn't be a Tom Morello pedal without some consideration for the effects in the rig. All of Tom's pedals run through the effects loop on his amp, so it's only right that this overdrive recreates that to give the same tonal characteristics to your pedals. The effects loop on this pedal uniquely taps in to the raw signal clipping point before the presence control and is mixed with the custom tone shaping qualities of the output. Combined with the Tom Morello Wah pedal you can absolutely nail his signature wah tone. Or combine it with your own effects and create your own signature sounds worthy of the Morello name.
