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.

But mostly fingers- guitar- amp.

Thank you so much for the detail! I never had much luck with pedals , most of them broke down (60's 70"s). Vintage Fender tweeds gave enough overdrive. That being said, The Klon was in a class by itself. I do not use mine with a LP. But with a Strat, WOW. The notes are really defined with just enough sizzle and the harmonics native to a Strat come through. I have a KTR as well as the ARC clone. A must for those who love Strats! The KTR sells around 700 bucks used, the ARC is about 200. A must if you like Strats. Thanks again

Seems Jeff was way ahead of his time for effects. Maybe even before Hendrix, who was essentialy a R&B player before 1966. He must have caught the effect train arriving in London ? Maybe I'm wrong.
