The Bloom from Jackson Audio is a comprehensive dynamic engine that is designed to give guitarists maximum dynamic tonal control in ways never before possible.

A three-fold device, the Bloom manipulates the dynamics of the instrument by way of precisely tuned compression, equalization, boost and sustain circuits which can be activated separately or in tandem with each other.

VOLUME
Acts as a master volume for the primary compressor section. Changes to the COMP and BLEND knob will typically necessitate a change to the Volume control to keep the overall level the same.
TIP! – When using high levels of compression, keep the VOLUME control at 3:00 or lower to avoid any unwanted clipping in the compressor circuit.

BLEND
Allows you to blend in your clean uncompressed signal with the compressed signal. Full counter clockwise is full compression. Fully clockwise is full clean signal. TIP! Try running your COMP knob full up and use the BLEND control to adjust the intensity of the compression. Doing this will allow the attack of your note to feel normal while adding sustain to the back end of the note.

COMP
Turn clockwise for more compression. Balance this with the BLEND and VOLUME control.

BASS
The 12:00 position is totally flat with +/-12dB boost/cut on either side of center. When the EQ is activated, and this control is turned, you will notice that the EQ led will change color to reflect the balance of the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls. The BASS control will add/subtract the color RED as it is turned.

MIDDLE
The 12:00 position is totally flat with +/-12dB boost/cut on either side of center. The mid frequency is centered around 660hz. When the EQ is activated, and this control is turned, you will notice that the EQ led will change color to reflect the balance of the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls. The MIDDLE control will add/subtract the color GREEN as it is turned.

TREBLE
The 12:00 position is totally flat with +/-12dB boost/cut on either side of center. When the EQ is activated, and this control is turned, you will notice that the EQ led will change color to reflect the balance of the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls. The TREBLE control will add/subtract the color BLUE as it is turned.

BLOOM
Sets the amount of boost when the BLOOM footswitch is engaged. Also is used to set the Bloom fade time when in Program Fade mode. When the Bloom is activated, turning the BLOOM control will change the BLOOM led to indicate the amount of boost present.

COMP FOOTSWITCH
To activate/deactivate the compressor circuit simply press the COMP footswitch. To select a compression preset, press and hold the COMP footswitch for more than 1 second and compression program mode will become active. When in this mode, the COMP led will flash to indicate that you are in program mode. A quick tap on the COMP footswitch will cycle the compression presets and you’ll be able to hear these preset changes as you cycle through them assuming that the compression circuit was active when compression program mode was entered. Once you arrive at a compression preset that you want to use, press and hold the COMP footswitch for more than 1 second and compression program mode will exit.

Note. When compression mode is exited, the selected compression preset is written to the internal EEPROM on the microprocessor and that will become your default compression setting when the compressor is engaged.

BLOOM FOOTSWITCH
To activate the Boost feature of the Bloom simply press the BLOOM footswitch. To activate the Bloom feature (slow fade up to boost level) press and hold the BLOOM footswitch for more than 1 second. The inverse is also true. To fade down from a boost setting, press and hold the BLOOM footswitch for more than 1 second.

(EQ FOOTSWITCH)
To activate the EQ, press and release the COMP and BLOOM footswitches simultaneously.
