The Korena take
The red Power 50 is an overdrive pedal that uses MOSFET technology to recreate the preamp stages of Tom Morello’s amplifier. Its six controls mirror that amplifier’s Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Volume, and Presence layout, so the pedal gives you separate control over drive, EQ, output level, and presence. It can be used with a simple combo amp or a larger custom stack, with the controls available for reproducing Morello’s settings or setting your own.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dialing a Morello-derived preamp control layout into a combo amp or custom stack.
- Adjusting gain, three-band EQ, volume, and presence from one pedal.
