Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 in anodized black with MIDI is a boutique optical compressor, active EQ, and clean boost offering six studio-grade compression modes and full MIDI control. Its optical limiting circuit, inspired by vintage tube compressors, is transparent, adding a rounded organic glow and sustain rather than obvious squash. The EQ shapes tone effectively and is often left on, while the transparent boost adds light grit and drives downstream overdrives. The six modes span gentle always-on leveling to aggressive compression, suiting clean funk, country, worship, ambient, and studio work, with MIDI preset recall for larger rigs. It is housed in a rugged stainless steel enclosure.
