Jackson Audio Bloom V2 Compressor/EQ

Jackson Audio · pedal

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.
