This one, falls into the realm of the fuzz face and its many brothers and sisters. The 2 transistor design is what countless classic pedals are based on, and it is the favorite go to fuzz for many.
Bloom is what happens when you take that classic circuit and wonder, how can I let the user explore every possibility of the 2 transistor fuzz? opening every window, unlatching every gate. It lets you explore all the corners most fuzzes keep locked up.
With the right settings, it’ll give you those big, round, warm vintage tones — smooth and singing, like something Hendrix would have gotten groovy with.
Dial it another way, and you’ll get splattery velcro weirdness, gated sputter, or full-on wall-of-saturation madness. It can be loud, it can be tame, it can be broken, it can be serene.
What makes it special is how it responds. Change your guitar, roll back your volume, shift your tone knob, it morphs right there with you. These simple circuits are so reactive. that small changes can make a world of difference. Alive, as one would say. Sometimes unpredictable in the best way.
If you’ve ever loved the spirit of a Fuzz Face but wanted to go way deeper with it…
this is that rabbit hole.
