Steve Winwood's Effects Pedals

Interview from Guitar.Com "Always A Guitar Player" by Scott Tribble

Guitar.com: Some people cite the Spencer Davis Group's "Keep on Running" as the first song recorded with a separate distortion pedal, as opposed to just overdriving the amp. Is that indeed how you did it? If so, to your knowledge, were you the first to do that on record

Winwood: That is indeed how we did it. I think [the fuzz box] was called a Big Muff. I'm not sure that we were the first to do that on record. We just went to the music shop and picked up these gadgets and tried them out— it sounded good for that song.
