Located in Benicia, California, Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc. was founded as a small, family-owned and operated company in 1965, and has since grown to be a leading manufacturer of electronic effects, picks, capos, slides, strings and other musical instrument accessories. So, if you go far enough back in guitar history, you'll come to a point where there were no effects pedals. Just after that, there was MXR. Born out of necessity in the early '70s, MXR has been making the effects artists demand since they started demanding them. What's more, these stompbox effects had to live up to the harsh conditions of life on the road right from the beginning, so when you buy an MXR pedal, you're getting a quality effect that will last a lifetime.
