Jackson Audio Bloom V2 (Silver)
Jackson Audio · pedal
This entry represents the Silver colorway of the Jackson Audio Bloom V2, a compressor and EQ pedal that blends studio-style compression with a built-in tone-shaping EQ section in one unit, giving players finish and volume control over their dynamics without a separate standalone EQ pedal. Jackson Audio built its reputation on musically transparent compression that adds sustain and evens out picking dynamics without the pumping or breathing artifacts some compressor circuits introduce, paired with an EQ voiced to complement rather than compete with that compression. The Silver finish is a cosmetic variant of the same V2 circuit found in the brand's other Bloom V2 colorways.
