Description

Edit description

Introducing the Jackson Audio Bloom V2 - MIDI, the ultimate dynamic engine for guitarists who crave maximum tonal control. This multi-faceted device is designed to shape and manipulate the dynamics of your instrument, providing you with a range of tonal possibilities that were previously unattainable.

The Bloom V2 is more than just a compressor. It's a dynamic powerhouse that features an optical compressor, EQ, boost, and sustain circuits which can be used individually or combined for some serious tone shaping. The optical compressor is designed to add a subtle sweetness and roundness to your tone, polishing off rough edges and delivering a 'mastered' response that's transparent and musical, making it ideal even for those who typically don't use compression.

The Bloom V2 now brings MIDI control to the mix, allowing for control over all 6 compression settings, circuit ON/OFF (COMP, EQ, BLOOM), and bloom level; the bloom level can also be expressed via MIDI!

Key Features:

A three-fold device featuring precisely tuned optical compression, equalization, boost, and sustain circuits
Six different compressor modes, tailored to match your playing style
Baxandall-inspired 3-band EQ for sweetening your sound
'Bloom' control for clean boosting and adding sustain
MIDI control over all parameters via TRS input
Programmable true bypass or buffered bypass operation
Six compression presets for distinct attack and release settings
Aux compressor circuit with fast attack of 7.5ms for legendary Lowell George slide tone
Blend control for mixing compressed and clean signals for natural attack and high sustain.

Amazing Tone + Exceptional Value

This is one of the best and easiest pedal compressors on the market.

With 6 presets, you can get anything from subtle compression to squashed hard compression. Each preset is designed for a specific genre/style of playing.

In addition to the 6 types of compression, it also gives players a very useable eq and boost.
