I honestly know very little about Dunlop as a company... as far as I know, they've been making Crybaby Wah's for pretty much ever, and they don't seem to do anything else (though I guess they have plenty of guitar care accessories and products). They acquired and overtook MXR, which is the cause of much internet sniping, but I'm not yet ready to equate Jim Dunlop with Hitler... Dunlop makes pedals: so be it.
