Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Jackson Audio BLOOM MIDI is a compressor, EQ, and boost pedal from US boutique manufacturer Jackson Audio (Colorado Springs, Colorado), delivering optical compression with bass and treble EQ and a clean boost, all controllable via MIDI for preset recall and parameter adjustment. Jackson Audio is known for MIDI-ready, high-quality transparent circuits for modern pedalboard integration. The BLOOM provides clean, musical compression with EQ shaping and MIDI control at Jackson Audio boutique quality.
The Jackson Audio Bloom V2 is a boutique optical compressor, EQ, and clean boost expanded with six studio-grade compression modes and full MIDI integration. Built around an optical limiting circuit inspired by vintage tube compressors, it stays transparent, adding a rounded organic glow and sustain rather than obvious squash. The active EQ shapes tone effectively and the transparent boost adds light grit while pushing downstream overdrives. The six modes range from gentle always-on leveling to aggressive pronounced compression, making it flexible for clean funk, country, worship, ambient, and studio work. MIDI control allows preset recall in larger rigs. It ships in a rugged stainless steel enclosure.
