BROKEN ARROW v2 – MIDI Overdrive & Boost Pedal – Jackson Audio

Image
The BROKEN ARROW v2 represents a modern, modular approach to overdrive design, combining multiple gain structures, studio-grade EQ, and MIDI control into a single, performance-focused platform. Built for players who require flexibility without compromising tone, it merges classic overdrive behaviour with contemporary switching and preset recall. At its core, the BROKEN ARROW is a soft-clipping overdrive inspired by traditional TS-style circuits, but without a fixed mid-hump. Instead, it relies on an active 3-band EQ to shape the signal precisely. Four selectable clipping diode presets, level-matched internally, allow meaningful tonal changes without volume jumps. The unique GAIN CYCLE feature enables stepped gain increases on the fly, making dynamic live transitions possible without touching the controls. Complementing the drive section is an independent MOSFET boost circuit, derived from the PRISM Preamp. With four boost voicings and true bypass operation, it c...

Jackson Audio BLOOM V2 – Dynamic Control Without Compromise

Image
The Jackson Audio BLOOM V2 is a dynamics pedal that offers compression, EQ, clean boost, and MIDI control in one unit for pedalboards. Rather than copying one compressor type, the BLOOM V2 gives you control over dynamics and tone. You can adjust feel, sustain, attack, and frequency balance. Six Compression Modes, One Cohesive Tool The BLOOM has a multi-mode compression engine with  six different modes  for various playing styles. It covers vintage compression, fast modern response, and works with clean, edge-of-breakup, or driven sounds. In addition to the six main modes, BLOOM includes: Limiter mode   (White LED) for peak control and protection Dual compression mode   (Aqua LED), stacking two compressors in series for enhanced sustain and consistency You can adjust the attack time and use a  blend control  to mix in your dry signal. This keeps the original pick attack while adding sustain. This makes the compression feel natural and not heavy-handed. EQ an...
