Who was the greatest American naval hero of the war?

The most famous US naval captain during the Revolutionary War was John Paul Jones. From 1777 to 1779, Jones commanded the USS Ranger. With the Ranger, Jones attacked and harassed British merchant shipping. These attacks were responsible for tying up logistics and allocation of defense resources. Also these attacks of the USS Ranger significantly decreased British morale. Many British at the time thought the American Revolution was a distant foreign affair, but Jones' attacks brought the conflict to the British's own doorstep. In 1779, Jones took command of his most famous ship, the USS Bonhomme Richard. In September 1779, the Bonhomme Richard famously engaged the HMS Serapis in the Battle of Flamborough Head. The battle was intense, and for a moment, the British seemed to be winning. When the British captain asked if Jones was ready to strike his colors and surrender, Jones gave his famous reply "I have not yet begun to fight!" The Americans won, and the battle became one of the most celebrated victories of the American Revolution.

Is it possible to connect a guitar pedal to a keyboard to get effects like the no-quarter intro?

Sure. That's what John Paul Jones did. What you want is a Phaser. John Paul Jones hooked his Rhodes up to a Maestro PS-1A. Last I checked, one was going for $150 on eBay. You can use a modern pedal to get a similar effect, but nothing can totally match the original.
