Blossom

The Blossom by Jackson Audio is a simple and easy-to-use optical compressor that features the same optical limiting compression circuit as the Jackson Audio BLOOM. The pedal is designed to provide transparency and subtlety, with the ability to add a gentle sweetening and roundness to the tone. It is known for its natural and touch-responsive bloom, making it ideal for players who typically don't use compression but want the 'mastered' response that optical compression gives a guitarist's tone.

The frequency response of the compressor section is ruler flat and does not boost or cut any highs or lows. Additionally, the pedal includes a clean blend control that allows the player to blend in their clean, unaffected signal back in with the compressed signal, providing the ability to dial in aggressive compression settings and blend some of the clean signal back in for a natural attack and sustain effect.

The Blossom is handmade in Forth Worth, Texas, USA and is designed to alter the dynamics of the guitar signal without affecting the tone. It operates on a power consumption of 20mA and requires a 9-18V DC center negative power supply (sold separately).
