Source Audio Atlas Compressor SA252
The Atlas is packed with so many different types of compression that it could serve as a tour guide through the history of compressor equipment.
First stop: classic stompbox squelchers such as the legendary Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer and the excellent (but discontinued) Diamond Compressor.
Next stop: universal and ubiquitous studio rack gear like the smooth and gentle LA2A optical compressor and the ultra-responsive 1176 FET compressor.
Finally, we’re taking you to all-out nerd territory with Peak, RMS, VCA, Dual compression, and an onboard Expander circuit… the Atlas has it all and does it well.
Dual Compressors: Use Atlas’ dual compressors in a variety of ways: in Series, Parallel, or Band Split mode, which provides a separate set of controls for both high and low frequencies.
Studio Level Compression Controls: Access all the essential compression parameters, including Feedback, Ratio, Attack, Release, Makeup Gain, Mix, and Tone, either with the pedal’s knobs or the Neuro Editor.
Special Bass Mode: With the push of a button, quickly convert Atlas to a special Bass Mode with compressor engines specifically optimised for bass.
Auto Makeup Gain: Dial-in sounds quickly. Atlas automatically increases or decreases the Makeup Gain depending on the amount of compression.
6 Types of Compression: The Atlas offers many different styles of compression with sounds inspired by studio rack gear and classic effects pedals.
LA2A Optical Compression: A faithful recreation of an electroluminescent panel combined with a photoresistor and the resulting warm and smooth compression that has been the standard in studios since the 1950s.
1176 Feedback FET Compression: Based on the solid-state FET compressor known for its full body and super-fast attack.
LED Optical Compressor: Inspired by pedals that work on a similar concept as the LA2A, but swap the electroluminescent panel for an LED and a quicker, dirtier response.
