Jackson Audio compressor Bloom Midi Black

A triple-function pedal, the Bloom manipulates the dynamics of the instrument through precisely calibrated optical compression, EQ, boost and sustain circuits that can be activated separately or in tandem with each other. As a compressor, the Bloom has an optical limiter circuit inspired by compressors designed during the heyday of tube circuits. Optical compressors are known for their transparency and subtlety. Although Bloom can be aggressive with extreme compression settings, its strength lies in its ability to bring smoothness and roundness to your sound, thanks to its optical circuit that polishes the roughness of your sound. The frequency response of the compression section is flat like a breadboard (!) And does not affect the bass or treble at all. Inside the Bloom is an auxiliary compression circuit which is identical to the main compression circuit and has 2 internal settings of Comp and Volume. It can be used in series before the main compression circuit in Slide Mode (preset # 5) to give more sustain to the notes while remaining clear and clean. The Bloom circuit can be used as a booster by pressing and releasing the Bloom footswitch, or by holding it down the Bloom circuit will gradually rise to the level set by the Bloom setting. This rise time, which is programmable, can be used to increase the sustain of sustained notes or to match the dynamics of a song. Compression - Transparent optical limiter circuit (type LA-2A) with a lot of dynamics. - Double compression for a slide sound. - Blend setting to mix the original (uncompressed) signal with the compressed signal. - 6 compression presets permanently accessible. Bloom - Boost from 0 to 20dB (with quick press on the Bloom footswitch). - Bloom from 0 to 20dB (with a long press on the Bloom footswitch). - True boost circuit. - Completely flat equalization down to subharmonic frequencies. - Programmable rise / fall time. Plus - MIDI control of 6 compressions, circuit On / Off (Comp, EQ, Bloom) and Bloom level. - 3-band equalization (with simultaneous support on the Comp and Bloom footswitches) designed after the legendary Baxandall equalization, with high bandwidth and ± 12dB per setting. - Bypass programmable in True Bypass or Buffered Bypass. - Available in Black or Silver.
