The Bloom
The Jackson Audio Bloom is a masterful compressor pedal that takes its inspiration from the golden age of vacuum tube circuits. This optical compressor is renowned for its transparency and subtlety, adding a gentle sweetness and roundness to your tone without coloring the sound. What makes the Bloom truly special is its ability to provide both subtle and aggressive compression, thanks to its unique dual-compressor design. Engage the "Slide Mode" and you'll unlock the secret to Lowell George's legendary sustain - two compressors in series, delivering endless, harmonically-rich sustain without sacrificing clarity. But the Bloom's versatility doesn't stop there. Its Blend control allows you to mix your clean signal back in, giving you the best of both worlds - the attack of an uncompressed tone, blended with the lush sustain of heavy compression. And with six carefully-crafted compression presets, you can quickly dial in the perfect settings for any musical style. The Bloom also features a side-chain input, letting you trigger the compression using an external audio source like a click track or kick drum. This opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing you to "duck" the guitar to make room for other instruments in the mix. Topping it all off is a studio-grade Baxandall EQ, giving you precise tonal control to shape your compressed signal. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a bedroom player, the Jackson Audio Bloom is a compressor that will elevate your tone and inspire your playing.
