Like a compressor, the Bloom features an optical limiter circuit inspired by optical compressors, known for their transparency and subtlety. The Bloom V2 can deliver a very aggressive response in more extreme compression settings, but its true strength lies in its ability to add a smooth sweetness and roundness to the tone as the optical circuit works to smooth out any rough edges in the sound.
Compression Modes
You can access the different compression modes by holding down the Comp switch. The press duration relates to the compressor's attack time, so shorter times result in less dynamic compression. Depending on the press duration, you'll enter one mode or another:
Limiter: 2.5 ms
Country: 7.5 ms
R&B: 50 ms
Ballad: 120 ms
Slide with auxiliary compressor: +120 ms

A Triple Device
The Bloom V2 manipulates the instrument's dynamics through precisely adjusted optical compression, a 3-band equalizer, and boost and sustain circuits that can be activated separately or together, allowing full control over compression.
Bloom Function
The Bloom mode is activated by holding down the Bloom switch for an extended period, allowing the boost to gradually swell to its set level. Of course, the Bloom function also works in reverse, allowing the signal to slowly return to its original level after the effect is bypassed.
Parallel Compression
Inside the Bloom, there is an auxiliary compression circuit identical to the main compression circuit, with two internal settings for Volume and Comp. This allows you to blend the compressed signal with the dry signal, creating what is known as parallel compression.
Active EQ
The Jackson Audio Bloom V2 pedal features a 3-band active equalizer with up to 12 dB of boost or cut per band, enabling precise tone shaping.Additionally, pressing both footswitches simultaneously on the Jackson Audio Bloom V2 disables the equalizer from the signal path.
