Texas Stomp Box--the real heart of this collaboration are the electronics, a three-way pickup selector switch, 3 pickups, and the volume and tone controls near the output jack. A small analog amp-modeling circuit is housed under the lower cheese grater side panel,amid the tone and volume controls. This preamp is powered by a standard nine-volt battery housed inside the Stomp Box. Augmenting the normal volume and tone controls are three sliding switches. They control preamp on/off (with an adjacent blue LED to indicate status), tone shift (treble cut/boost), and choice of output-clean or distortion. A separate master volume knob controls output only when the preamp is engaged. The three knobs sport an aggressive knurling and have a deep-relief VW logo in the top.
