Used Dunlop pedals

Jim Dunlop Sr. was a Scottish engineer who started his company in 1965 with a tuning gadget called the Vibra-Tuner, then a toggle capo. He moved into picks in 1972, set up in Benicia, California the same year, and launched Tortex picks in 1981. Pedals came next. In 1982 Dunlop bought the original Cry Baby tooling from Thomas Organ and its Italian maker JEN and launched the GCB95 wah. It bought the MXR brand in 1987, took over the Fuzz Face in 1993 and revived Way Huge in 2008. Jim Sr. died in 2019, and his son Jimmy runs the company. Today Dunlop sells dozens of Cry Baby versions, from artist signatures to half-size Minis, plus Fuzz Face models in both germanium and silicon. In a listing, match the model code to the pedal in the photos, since Cry Babys share one basic shape, and check whether a Fuzz Face is a germanium or a silicon model.
