JEN Elettronica reportedly founded in 1969 in Pescara/Italy soon became Europe’s biggest OEM manufacturer for mainly guitar effects pedals, building products for VOX, Gretsch and several others, in addition to marketing a whole line of pedals under their own name JEN. Best known for their incredibly successful wah-wah pedal “Cry Baby”, JEN developed and marketed such sophisticated effects as the Syntar GS3000, one of the world’s first (if not first at all) guitar synthesizers.
