ʻO Jim Dunlop he ʻenekinia ʻAmelika-Scottish a ʻo ia ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc., kahi mea hana nui o nā mea hoʻokani pila nā ʻāpana hopena.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ma Benicia, Kaleponi, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Dunlop i kāna hui ma 1965 ma ke ʻano he hana hale liʻiliʻi.
I kēia lā, ua ulu ʻo ia i mea hana nui o nā mea hana mele, mahalo i ka loaʻa ʻana o Dunlop i nā hōʻailona kaulana e like me Uwe pēpē, MXR a me Way Huge.
Introduction
ʻO James C. Dunlop, i ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Jim Dunlop, he kanaka ʻoihana hou a lanakila i ka makana nāna i kōkua i ke ʻano o ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā mele ma o ka hana ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kekahi o kāna mau huahana i ʻike ʻia. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc., ma 1965 me kahi misionari e hana i nā mea kani i hiki ke loaʻa i nā pae a pau o nā mea mele. Mai kāna ʻano hou o ka "crybaby" wah-wah pedal a hiki i kāna laina piha o nā kiaʻi koho, nā kaula, a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe - ua lilo nā huahana Dunlop i mea hoʻohui i nā mea hoʻokani pila ʻoihana. Ma kēia ʻatikala e ʻimi mākou ʻo wai ʻo Jim Dunlop a me kāna mea i hoʻokō ai no ke mele ma mua o kona hala ʻana i ka makahiki 2013 i ka makahiki 80.
Kaumua
ʻO Jim Dunlop, ka inoa maoli ʻo James D. Dunlop Jr., ua hānau ʻia ma Iulai 9th, 1942, ma Edinburgh, Scotland. Ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia i loko o kahi ʻohana mele, me kona makuahine he kumu piano, a ʻo kona makuakāne he pu jazz. ʻO ka ulu ʻana, ua hoʻopuni ʻia ʻo Jim e nā mele a ʻo kēia kaiapuni e hoʻohālikelike ai i kāna ʻoihana.
Ka 'ohana
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo James Dunlop ma ʻAukake 29th, 1958 ma Glasgow, Scotland. ʻO ia ka makahiapo o nā keiki kāne ʻekolu i hānau ʻia e kona mau mākua, ʻo William lāua ʻo Esther Dunlop. He hale kūʻai iʻa a ʻokiʻoki kona makuakāne a ʻo kona makuahine he mea hana hale. ʻElua mau kaikunāne ʻo Jim, ʻo Michael lāua ʻo Brian; he poe aloha mele ko laua e like me ko laua kaikuaana.
Ua hele ʻo Jim i ke kula ʻo Robert Gordon ma Aberdeen ma mua o ke kau inoa ʻana ma ke Kulanui o Stirling e hoʻomau i nā haʻawina hou i ka hoʻokele ʻoihana. I kona wā ʻōpio ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hōʻike i ka hoihoi no ke mele i lilo koke i mea ikaika i ke ola. Ma ke kulanui, ua pāʻani ʻo ia i ka bass me nā hui blues a ua hoʻokumu i nā pilina pili me nā mea hoʻokani pila ʻē aʻe a puni iā ia - ua hele kekahi o lākou i ka holomua ʻoihana.
Ua hoʻomaka koke ka ʻoihana mele a Jim i ka wā i loaʻa ai iā ia kahi hana e mālama ana i ka māhele G&L (Guitars & Longhorns) ʻo Rosetti Music, nāna i hana i nā amplifiers a me nā leo kani no nā mea hana mele e like me Marshall Amplification a me Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC). I kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā Jim ka ʻike e pili ana i ka hana ʻana i nā pedal hopena a me nā kīkā ponoʻī iā lākou iho - kahi wahi o ka loea i loaʻa iā ia kahi wahi i ka mōʻaukala rock 'n' roll i ka wā i hoʻokumu ai ʻo ia i kāna hui ponoʻī "Jim Dunlop Manufacturing Inc" (JDM) ma 1965.
Nā Kumuhana Hoʻonaʻauao
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Jim Dunlop ma Glasgow, ʻEkokia i ka makahiki 1948. Ua makemake nui ʻo ia i ka ʻenekinia, kahi āna i huki ai ma hope i kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kāna ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani mele. Ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke kula, ua kākau inoa ʻo ia ma ke Kulanui o Strathclyde ma Glasgow e aʻo i ka ʻenekinia mechanical, puka me ka hanohano ma hope o ʻehā mau makahiki o ke aʻo ʻana.
Ua komo ʻo Dunlop i ka Bassoon Industrial Company Ltd. kahi i hoʻohana ai i kona kēkelē i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā mea hana a me nā huahana no ka ʻoihana mahiʻai. Ma 1972, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Dunlop i kahi hana ma Corby Trouser Press kokoke a neʻe i Paisley; lawe ʻo ia i ke ʻano o ka ʻenekini hoʻolālā kōkua ma laila, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻokolohua me nā manaʻo hoʻolālā no nā mea kani a me nā huahana mea kōkua. ʻO kāna mea i hana mua ʻia he mea hoʻopaʻa kiʻi kīkā i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia; Ua ʻike ʻia kēia ma ke ʻano he koho "Tortex" kaulana a kaulana i waena o nā mea hoʻokani pila no nā makahiki he mau makahiki a hiki i ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana i 2020.
'oihana,'
He mea hana hou ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka honua mele, e hoʻohui mau ana i nā manaʻo noʻonoʻo me ka ʻike loea e hana i nā huahana kūʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana ma ke mele ma ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻano o nā pickups a me nā pedal i hoʻololi i ke kani o ke kīkā uila. ʻO kāna mau hoʻolālā hou i hoʻohui pū i nā kani maʻamau a me ka ʻenehana hou me ka nānā ʻana i ka maikaʻi. Ua kōkua kāna ʻoihana i ke ʻano o ke kani o nā mele hou.
Ke Kaumua
Ua ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Jim Dunlop no kāna hana ma ka ʻoihana mele, mai ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i ka pūʻulu hoʻopaʻa inoa o nā mea hana mele a hiki i ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā hui nui. Akā ma mua o kēlā mau mea a pau, ua hele ʻo Jim Dunlop i kahi wā hoʻonaʻauao a hoʻomaikaʻi i kāna hana.
Hānau ʻia ma Paisley, ʻEkokia, ua hoʻomohala ʻo Dunlop i ka hoihoi i ka mele i kona wā ʻōpio - ke komo ʻana i kahi hoʻokūkū ma ka ʻĀpana ʻO Young Scottish Music Festival i kona wā he 11 mau makahiki. Ua hele ʻo ia e hele i ke Kulanui o Strathclyde ma Glasgow kahi i loaʻa ai iā ia ke aʻo ʻana i ka ʻenekini uila, a laila ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia i ke Kulanui ʻo Heriot-Watt e hoʻopau i kāna kekelē.
Ma hope o kona puka 'ana i ke kulanui me ke kēkelē Hanohano a hele 'o ia e hana ma ke 'ano he 'enekinia kani ma BBC Radio Scotland, ua wehe 'o Dunlop i kāna hale kū'ai pono'ī no nā mea kani a me nā amplifier i kapa 'ia 'o VIP Sound Services. I loko o kēia manawa ua loaʻa ʻo ia i kāna ʻike kulanui me ka ʻike i loaʻa mai nā ʻenehana hoʻoponopono ʻoihana ma ʻEulopa a me Iapana e loaʻa ai nā mākau hou e kūkulu ai i ke kahua no nā mea e hiki mai ana ma hope - ʻoiai hoʻi i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Dunlop i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā pedal hopena maʻamau no nā mea kūʻai aku e like me nā lālā o nā hui U2, Deep Purple a me Pink Floyd.
ʻO Dunlop Manufacturing Company
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka Hui Hana Hana ʻo Dunlop i ka makahiki 1965. Aia ma Benicia, Kaleponi, ua hana ka brand i nā moʻo maʻamau o nā koho kīkā a Dunlop i hana nui ʻia. Ua lilo kēia mau mea waiwai i mea kaulana loa a ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo kekahi o ka Top Ten Most Innovative Music Products or Companies of All Time by Rhythm Magazine ma 2006. Ma hope o kēia kūleʻa mua, hoʻomau ʻo Jim i ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā makana o ka hui e hoʻokomo i nā kaula, nā paheʻe kaula, nā capos, nā paheʻe, nā amp a me nā hopena ʻē aʻe.
Ua hui pū ʻo Dunlop me kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ka ʻoihana pōhaku e like me Jimi Hendrix a me Kurt Cobain e hoʻomohala i kā lākou huahana ponoʻī. Ua hana ʻia kēia no nā kākoʻo kiʻi a hāʻawi i ke komo i nā mea kūʻokoʻa no nā mea kūʻai aku a puni ka honua. A hiki i kēia lā, hoʻomau ʻo JDMC i ka hana ʻana i nā huahana hou no nā mea hoʻokani pila a me nā mea hoʻokani pila.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana i nā mea hoʻokani pila, ua hana ʻo Jim Dunlop i nā hana aloha koʻikoʻi ma o ka Jim Dunlop Benevolence Fund e manaʻo nei e hoʻohana i ka hoʻonaʻauao mele ma ke ʻano he ʻelele no ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kaiāulu ma waena o ʻAmelika. Hāʻawi ke kahua i nā mea hoʻonaʻauao a me nā mea kani i nā keiki hoihoi i ke mele akā ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa; no laila e hāʻawi ana i nā manawa hou no ka ulu pilikino o nā keiki ma o ka haku mele.
Ka ho'oilina
Ke ola nei ka hoʻoilina o Jim Dunlop i kēia lā, ʻoiai ʻo kāna hana paionia mai ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā kaula, nā koho, a me nā manamana lima a hiki i kāna mau mea i kūleʻa loa, ka laina MXR o nā pedal hopena. Ua hoʻomau ʻo Dunlop Manufacturing i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka kūleʻa o nā huahana kumu a ka mea hoʻomohala, a hoʻokuʻu i nā mea hou e hoʻokō i kāna mau hoʻolālā aloha. Ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana i nā pedal hopena no nā mea hoʻokani pila o nā pae āpau, ʻo Jim Dunlop ke kuleana no ka hana ʻana i kekahi o nā mea kani maikaʻi loa a me nā mea pono no nā bassists a puni ka honua.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana i nā huahana no nā mea hoʻokani mele, ua hāʻawi hou ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka ʻoihana i hāʻawi iā ia i ka lanakila nui. Ua ikaika ʻo ia i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke kākoʻo a me ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana i nā luthiers a me nā ʻenehana hoʻoponopono mea kani ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a me ʻEulopa me nā seminar, nā huakaʻi hale hana a me nā hōʻikeʻike huahana. Ua loaʻa iā ia nā makana e like me ke kauka hanohano mai Berklee College of Music a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka Hale Hoʻohanohano ʻo Kanada a me Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Me ka holomua o ka ʻenehana mele e hāʻule ana ma waena o nā ʻōnaehana ʻenehana kuʻuna a me ka hoʻokolohua uila, ua waiho ʻo Jim Dunlop i kahi hōʻailona hiki ʻole i nā mea hoʻokani pila a puni ka honua ma mua o kona make ʻana i ka makahiki 2009-a ʻoi aku. No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kēia ʻoihana hanohano ma ke alo o ka ʻenehana mele, ua loaʻa iā Jim Dunlop nā ʻōlelo hanohano mai ka Guitar Player magazine nāna i hoʻopuka i kahi ʻatikala hoʻohanohano e hoʻolauleʻa ana i kāna hana ma hope koke o kona make ʻana. A hiki i kēia lā, ʻoluʻolu nā mea hana kiʻi ʻoihana ʻelua i loaʻa i ka kūleʻa pāʻoihana a me nā hōkū āpau āpau i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana mai kāna mau mele mele i hoʻomaikaʻi i nā ola mai ko lākou hoʻomaka ʻana ma mua o ʻehā mau makahiki i hala.
Nā Haʻawina Nui i ka Mele
He mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka ʻoihana mele, hoʻololi hou i ka pāʻani me kāna mau mea hana a me nā huahana. Ua hoʻololi kāna mau mea hana a me kāna hana i ke ʻano o ko mākou noʻonoʻo ʻana a me ka launa pū ʻana me nā mea kani a mākou e pāʻani ai. Ua lilo kāna mau huahana i mea pono no nā mea hoʻokani pila ʻoihana a me nā mea hoʻokani pila. E nānā kākou i kekahi o nā haʻawina nui āna i hana ai i ke mele.
Hoʻomohala ʻana i ka Wah-Wah Pedal
I ka makahiki 1967, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka Clyde McCoy Cry Baby Wah-Wah Pedal, i loaʻa ka hopena nui i ka ʻoihana. Ma ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka ʻenehana i ke mele, ua wehe ʻia nā leo a me nā manaʻo hou i hāpai ʻia e nā mea pena o nā ʻano like ʻole.
Ua hānau ʻia ka manaʻo no ka pedal mai ka ʻenehana bass kamaʻilio ʻana a Rodney Mullen mai kāna mau hits e like me Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame" a hoʻomaka e ʻike nui ʻia i ka wā i hoʻolaha nui ai ʻo Jimi Hendrix i ke kani me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka Dunlop Wah-Wah Pedal. Ua loaʻa ka hui e Dunlop Manufacturing i ka makahiki 1967, nāna i hoʻokomo i kā lākou mau mea hou e like me ka lōʻihi o ke ola pākaukau a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka bypass maoli i kā lākou mana o ka pedal.
ʻO ka hoʻokomo ʻana o kēia pedal i ʻae ʻia nā amps e hana i nā hōʻailona guitar ʻoi aku ka paʻa ʻana a me ka ʻole o kona kani ʻana. Hiki i nā mea kūʻai ke hoʻololi i waena o nā leo maʻemaʻe a me ka hoʻohewa ʻana me ka wāwae maʻalahi, e hoʻolilo i kā lākou mau hana ola i ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
Ua hana ʻia nā ʻano pedal hopena ʻē aʻe ma muli o kēia manaʻo - phasers, flangers, pitch shifters - alakaʻi i nā mea hiki ke hana i nā mele e aʻo ʻia a ʻimi ʻia i kēia mau lā. Hoʻohana mau ʻia ka Wah-Wah Pedal e nā mea hoʻokani pila ma nā ʻano like ʻole me nā pedal multi-effects i lako me nā leo he nui e hoʻohui i ke ʻano o kēlā me kēia mele a i ʻole ka hana.
Hoʻolauna o ka Cry Baby Pedal
Ua kaulana paha ʻo Jim Dunlop no kāna mea i hana ai i ka Cry Baby, he pedal wah-wah no ke kīkā uila. Ua hoʻohana mua ʻia ka hopena, akā ua hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi ʻia kāna hoʻolālā uila wah-wah ma ka mana mechanical mua. Ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i ka pedal i ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi leo hilinaʻi a kūpaʻa ma mua o ka mea i loaʻa i kēia manawa. Ua lilo koke ia i mea kaulana i nā mea hoʻokani pila a me nā leʻaleʻa, a me ka lilo ʻana i ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o nā ʻano mele ʻē aʻe e like me ka soul a me ka blues. A hiki i kēia lā, ke hoʻomau nei ka Cry Baby i kekahi o nā pedals kaulana loa ma ka mākeke a ua hoʻohana ʻia ma nā leo hoʻopaʻa helu lehulehu e nā mea hoʻokani pila a me nā hui a puni ka honua. Me ka ʻole o kēia ʻāpana kipi, paʻakikī ke noʻonoʻo i kekahi o kēia mau mele i haku ʻia. Ma waho aʻe o kāna hana ʻenehana kaulana loa, ua hāʻawi nui ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻenehana koho e pāʻani ana i ka manaʻo a me ka lōʻihi me nā mea nylon; ʻelua mau mea hou e hoʻomau nei i ka hoʻoikaika i ka poʻe guitarist i kēia mau lā.
Ka hoʻomohala ʻana o nā MXR Effects Pedals
I ka makahiki 1972, ua luhi ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka hana ʻana i nā pedal hopena no nā mea mele. ʻO kāna mea i hana ai, ʻo ka MXR Dyna Comp Pedal, ʻo ia ka pedal mua i hana nui ʻia o kona ʻano a hiki i nā mea mele ke hoʻohui i nā ʻano leo i ko lākou kani ke pāʻani. ʻO ka holo mua wale nō he 5 hopena hopena; Flanger, Reverb, Hoʻopaneʻe/Echo, Hoʻololi Phase a me ka Distortion. Ua hoʻololi ʻo ia i nā solo guitar ma ka ʻae ʻana i ka mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻomalu maikaʻi i ko lākou kani ʻana i ka wā e pāʻani ana ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka mana o ka ʻōlelo.
ʻO ka mea kaulana loa i kēlā manawa he kumu hoʻohālike pedal i kapa ʻia ʻo MXR-107 Phase 90 i lilo i mea maʻamau ʻoihana i hoʻohana ʻia ma ka hana ola a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ke keena. Ua hōʻailona kēia i ka hāʻawi nui ʻana i ka hana mele i hala i nā hanauna a hoʻomau i ka hana ʻana i nā mele i kēia mau lā ma nā hoʻohana hana ʻelua mai nā kani hopena kūikawā a i nā pedal distortion modulation i hoʻohana ʻia i nā mele metala. ʻO ka mana o MXR hopena pedals ma ka pōhaku a me ke mele metala ʻaʻole hiki ke kuhi ʻia no ka mea ua waiho i kahi manaʻo i ka ʻoihana uila kaulana no nā makahiki he mau makahiki.
Panina
I ka hopena, he mea ʻike ʻo Jim Dunlop i ka honua mele nāna i hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka hoʻokani pila. Ua hoʻohana ʻia kāna mau huahana hou i nā rigs he nui i nā makahiki a ua lawe lākou i ka pōhaku a ʻōwili i kahi pae hou. E kaulana mau kona inoa kaulana i ka honua i ka hui mele no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, a ua waiho ʻo ia i ka hopena mau loa i nā mea hoʻokani pila akā nā mea hoʻokani pila.
ʻO wau ʻo Joost Nusselder, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā Neaera a me kahi mea kūʻai aku ʻike, makuakāne, a makemake hoʻi e hoʻāʻo i nā mea hana hou me ka guitar ma ka puʻuwai o koʻu makemake, a me kaʻu hui, ua hana wau i nā ʻatikala blog hohonu mai 2020 e kōkua i ka poʻe heluhelu kūpaʻa me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻopaʻa leo a me nā kīkā.
