yes, it will change. the tone pot, and particularly the capacitor that is attached to it, bleeds off some of the upper frequencies. you can change how much bleeds off by changing the value of the capacitor, or the resistance of the tone pot. or, you can remove it all together.
personally, i like having one, so that i can shape my sound. some people like the 'open' sound of not having one there. as far as famous people, i know Paul Gilbert went tone-pot-less.

heh, you don't need to worry about that. just remove it from the signal path, and you'll be set.
here's a schematic you may find helpful.

also, here's the wiring for Paul Gilbert's guitar. it seems as though he's got a capacitor in there afterall, to bleed off some of the higher frequencies. hmm, but it's on the volume. that's interesting.

4th edit: ok, so i think i might be wrong about the cap on the volume, most other models seem to have them, though none of my guitars seem to
