Description

The Amplified Nation Bigger Bloom overdrive pedal brings the feel, sustain and harmonic character of legendary D-style amplifiers to a compact preamp-style pedal designed to push an amp into rich, expressive overdrive. Building on the original Big Bloom platform, the Bigger Bloom adds increased gain, enhanced midrange presence and improved clarity at higher settings, creating an overdrive that feels dynamic and alive under your fingers. From articulate low-gain textures to singing lead tones, it delivers the smooth sustain and blooming harmonics that have made D-style circuits so highly sought after.

Enhanced Gain With Dual EQ Voicings

The Bigger Bloom's revised gain structure produces a throatier attack and stronger midrange response while maintaining note definition as the gain increases. Notes naturally bloom into rich harmonics and controlled feedback, creating a smooth yet powerful overdrive voice. A dedicated Jazz/Rock switch expands the pedal’s versatility, allowing players to switch between a smoother, softer attack with reduced output and a hotter, more aggressive voice with increased gain and punch. Lastly, the Drive, Accent, Tone and Level controls provide detailed adjustment over gain, presence, EQ response and overall output.

Boutique Performance in a Pedalboard-Friendly Design

Inspired by the amplifier expertise of Amplified Nation founder Taylor Cox, the Bigger Bloom delivers boutique amplifier character with the convenience of a compact effects pedal. Top-mounted input and output jacks maximize pedalboard efficiency, while 9V DC or 9V battery operation keeps setup simple for stage, studio and rehearsal use. Whether used for articulate low-gain textures or saturated lead tones, the Amplified Nation Bigger Bloom Overdrive delivers the responsive feel and harmonic richness that define great D-style overdrive.
