The Jackson Audio Bloom is a studio-grade optical compressor, active EQ, and clean boost in one compact boutique pedal. Its optical limiting circuit, inspired by vintage vacuum-tube compressors, is prized for transparency, adding a gentle sweetening and organic glow rather than obvious coloration. The active EQ shapes tone effectively and is often left on permanently, while the transparent boost adds subtle grit and pushes downstream overdrive pedals well. It suits players who want always-on compression and tone polish for clean funk, country picking, worship, and studio recording without squashing dynamics. Built in a rugged stainless steel enclosure, it ranges from subtle leveling to aggressive squeeze depending on settings.
The Outlaw Effects Wrangler is a 2-mode compressor pedal, not a wah, that smooths out dynamics while keeping the guitar's original tonal character intact. It ranges from subtle, transparent compression to a more pronounced squeeze with extended sustain, and a Tone control adds coloration to the compressed signal while a Normal/Hi Cut toggle tames unwanted brightness. It suits players wanting an affordable, straightforward compressor for evening out picking dynamics or adding sustain, built to be durable and reliable on a budget pedalboard.
