    My friend Kenny designed and made Jeff's Snarling Dog Pedals. We got Jeff to contact my bro and fellow *crip*, as he calls me, Jason Becker. Beck shunned the limelight (don't blame him), but dang, he was a kind man. My dad customized old cars; Beck was just a regular guy when it came to mixing in with that group of men and women in car clubs, around the US, anyway.

    That was a great tour of Jeff's effects. I had no idea he used so many different things. In an interview that must have been much later he said he didnt use anything; though I would see him stomping different things, like overdrive for solos, an effect that sounded like a doubler of some kind and occasionally a wah petal.

    In all actuality Heart Full of Soul was initially released in the UK on 4th June 1965
    and 2nd July 1965 (US) whereas (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction was released 5th June 1965 (US) and 20 August 1965 (UK). So Americans assumes the Stones did the Fuzz thing first but it was in all factuality the Yardbirds who did it first.

    One of the most overrated "star guitarists" of the old generation - I don't know a single video of him where he would have played without all his sound tricks with effect devices, guitar mechanics, amp gimmicks etc., i.e. on an acoustic guitar!
    The rest was the usual blues/blusrock schemes, a few weird chords, slide technique, etc. His "genius" was more in how he used his sound effects and riffs rhythmically, but after decades of playing practice it wasn't magic.
    As a drummer and keyboarder I was much more impressed by other guitarists, especially since J.Beck wrote very few (well-known) songs of his own. 90% of his live concerts were partly ancient cover songs - and that's how he became a multimillionaire?!
