Middle frequency, anyone?

I got excited after hearing the good people of TC Electronic have a drive/distortion based pedal in store for dweebs like me. However, after seeing the conception, I was wondering if the middle frequency is of any relevance to many drive-type pedals today. I personally feel this frequency is of crucial importance for the guitar as it propels aural warmth. The bass & treble ends per se, often fail to provide the electric guitar with that necessary definition of being non-synthetic. It's either that or me getting old & in need of eardrum tweaking...
