➊ BIG JOE STOMPBOX COMPANY
RELEASES THE R-405 HARD
Most of the time, standard dirt
stompboxes simply lack “balls.” And to
us in the know, “balls” usually means
“mids.” Fortunately, Big Joe has rectified
this with its R-405 Hard, a crunchy drive
box with some serious muscle with two
separate mids controls so your tone
never gets lost again. The R-405 simply
pushes all other frequencies to the side
and lets your tone shine through.

the darkness of a pitch-black stage and
