The tone control is a low pass filter to dial in the right amount of brightness for your amp. There is plenty of volume on tap so you can rock-it your amps preamp or favorite drive pedal into clipping.
History: Sometimes simpler is better. Dr Von Fuzzbrauer was looking high and low for an overdrive that produced a bit of grit but didn’t overly color this guitar tone. He went through many a design, some of them got pretty complex. Then one day he thought, why not just keep it simple? And thus Astro Rock-it was born. -
