Jackson Audio Blossom Optical Compressor, Excellent ConditionIf you've always wanted the feel of a studio optical compressor on your board without the complexity or the footprint, the Blossom is exactly that.The Blossom is built around the same optical compression circuit as Jackson Audio's flagship Bloom pedal, specifically the Country (green) channel with its fast 7.5ms attack, widely regarded as one of the most musical and transparent compression settings in that pedal. Jackson Audio pulled it out, put it in a tiny 1.8" x 4" enclosure, and kept things simple without cutting corners on the circuit itself.Optical compression works by using light to control gain reduction, which gives it a naturally smooth, musical attack and release that responds well to dynamic playing. The result is that polished, "mastered" quality to your tone that you hear on great recordings, without killing your dynamics or coloring your sound.What you get:Optical compression circuit voiced for transparency and touch responseComp knob for dialing in the amount of compressionClean blend control to mix your dry signal back in, letting you run aggressive compression settings while keeping natural attackVolume knob for makeup gain1-knob tilt EQ: clockwise adds treble and trims bass, counterclockwise adds warmth and rolls off highs, flat at noonRuns 9-18V DC for increased headroom at higher voltageTrue bypassCompact 1.8" x 4" footprint, perfect for board real estateOnly 20mA current drawA great fit for players who want always-on compression that works in the background rather than announcing itself, as well as country pickers, clean tone players, and anyone running into digital rigs who wants to add some natural warmth and polish.Pedal is in excellent condition with only minor cosmetic marks from normal use, functions perfectly.
