The Source Audio SA 252 One Series Atlas Compressor features a comprehensive collection of compression circuits that perfectly capture the tone and feel of the industry's most sought-after compressors and with the push of a button, Atlas can be easily optimized for either guitar or bass. Straight out of the box, Atlas delivers six different styles of compression, ranging from classic stompbox compressors to high-end rack units. The pedal also features advanced dual-band compression, which provides an independent set of controls for both the high and low frequencies. Each compression engine has onboard controls for Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Output, Tone, and Mix, allowing for fine-tuned control over the compact One Series hardware. Like all One Series pedals, it is possible to get even more out of your Atlas Compressor by connecting to the Neuro Desktop Editor or Mobile App. Neuro editing unlocks the power of a full studio compressor module, similar to what you would see in a DAW plug-in or analog rack-mount gear. The Neuro Editor includes a signal readout display that shows the compressor's gain reduction in real time. In addition, the Neuro Editor features extra deep and powerful parameters for further tweaking and tonal exploration. Discover the full history of audio compression, from VCA to RMS to Optical and more with the one-of-a-kind Atlas Compressor.
- compressor effects pedal
- switchable guitar / bass mode
- bass mode converts all factory presets to be used with a bass guitar (adjusted dynamic range and attack characteristics)
- 6 selectable types of compression (2x Optical, 1x VCA, 1x FET, 2x Dual-Band) including LA2A Optical Compression (warm and smooth compression), 1176 Feedback FET Compression (full body and a super-fast attack), LED Optical Compressor (similar concept as the LA2A, but with a quicker, dirtier response) and Rackmount VCA-style compression (fast response and a hard knee)
- two selectable dual compressor modes can be used in in a variety of ways (Series, Parallel, Band Split)
- additional compressor types available via Neuro Editor
- direct access to all essential compression parameters
- Auto Makeup Gain automatically increases or decreases the Makeup Gain depending on the amount of compression
- Look Ahead Compression creates an imperceptible latency in the signal that 'looks into the future' and allows for an extra quick and smooth attack without any additional distortion or artifacts
- Side Chain Compression uses the signal going to Input 2 to trigger the compression applied to the signal going into Input 1
- 3-band parametric or 8-band graphic equalizers available via Neuro Editor
- adjustable noise gate
- create, save, and share presets with the Neuro Desktop Editor or the Neuro Mobile App
- full MIDI capabilities with the Source Audio Neuro Hub
- controls for Threshold, Ratio (Tone), Blend (Attack), Output (Release)
- preset toggle switch for 6 onboard presets
- ALT control button activates secondary function of the pots
- bypass footswitch
- status LEDs
