Jackson Audio - Bloom v2 Midi Black Optical Compressor, EQ, Boost

The Secret Every Album Has Used

Every guitar sound you've ever heard on a record has three things: compression, EQ, and level changes. The Jackson Audio Bloom brings all three professional mastering tools to your pedalboard in one incredible package. It's like having a mastering engineer's toolkit at your feet.

Joey Mode - The Slide Player's Dream

Named after Joey Landreth, this fifth mode runs two compressors in series for ridiculously long sustain. It's that Lowell George magic – clean notes that sing forever with overdriven sustain characteristics. Crank the compression, blend in your dry signal, and watch notes hang in the air indefinitely. It's not just compression; it's liquid sustain.

Six Attack Modes That Actually Matter

From ultra-fast limiter mode (white) that grabs everything instantly, to country mode (green) with perfect picking dynamics, to ballad mode with smooth 50-millisecond attacks. The visual LED feedback shows you exactly what's happening – watch the compression grab and release in real-time. Each mode is voiced for specific playing styles, not just arbitrary settings.

Three Tools, Endless Possibilities

Run compression alone for studio-grade dynamics. Use just the EQ to fix problem frequencies. Engage only the boost for clean volume bumps. Or combine all three for sounds that range from crystal-clear country picking to singing sustain that rivals fuzz pedals – but with perfect clarity.

The Backline Savior

Stuck with a terrible amp at a festival? The Bloom's powerful 3-band EQ delivers ±12dB on each frequency band. Turn a harsh, brittle backline amp into something musical, or shape your tone exactly how you need it. It's the difference between fighting your rig and making music with it.

About Brad Jackson

Meet Brad Jackson - commercial pilot by day, tone perfectionist always. His journey from building world-class amplifiers to crafting precision guitar pedals is a story of innovation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. For a decade, Jackson Amp Works produced legendary amplifiers that graced stages worldwide, including John Mayer's Battle Studies World Tour. But when the music industry shifted toward digital modeling in 2018, Brad made a bold pivot: he closed the amp company and channeled that expertise into something new. Jackson Audio was born from this transition - not as a retreat, but as evolution. Every pedal carries the DNA of those amplifier years: the understanding of how tubes saturate, how circuits interact, and how musicians actually use their gear. Brad's approach combines the precision of aviation with the artistry of music, creating pedals that solve real problems for working musicians while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a compact enclosure.
