Big Joe Stompbox
#BEARTHECROWN
Owners Paul and David Christian have been designing and building guitar effects pedals and
products for over 40 years. Over this career they have developed proprietary designs as well as
OEM designs for many of the leading guitar/pedal companies in the industry. Creating a great
sounding guitar effect product is all about trial and error. Whether you are hot rodding a tube
amplifier or developing a great sounding analog circuit, the process involves building, modifying
and rebuilding until you arrive at just the right combination and configuration of components. It is
adherence to the process that leads to great tone. To build products that endure through the
ages, there needs to be a focus on the integrity of the craft. At Big Joe, there are no short cuts or
compromises. Sometimes it is more magic than science, but we tinker until it is right. When you
see the Big Joe Crown, know that you are always getting a quality product. That’s what
#BearTheCrown means to us at Big Joe.

VINTAGE II
(9V-18V)
R-403
VINTAGE
(9V-18V)
Four tasty, tube amp
profiles with different
combinations of warmth,
bark, bite and attack. You
can move from buttery
smooth to razor sharp, but
like the B-403, this box is
still all about pick attack
and vintage tone. It is
tonally flexible, but still very
transparent and
responsive. The harder you
drive it the more it bites.
Play it clean or crank it up
for that finger licking good,
barbecued Texas crunch
tone. It is a very dynamic
box for the serious blues
player.
9V Syrupy smooth warm
tube dynamics with
plenty of bark. This box
is reminiscent of vintage
tube amps pushed to
their limits. Twoposition toggle provides
additional low end boost
similar to a close miked
amp. There is plenty of
gain here, but this box is
all about pick attach and
tone. It is very
transparent and
responsive. The harder
you play the more it
bites back.
