The Atlas Compressor offers a complete collection of compression circuits that perfectly capture the tone and feel of the industry's most sought-after compressors. Right out of the box, the Atlas offers six different compression styles, based on classic pedal compressors as well as high-end rack units like the punchy 1176 compressor and the smooth, fluid LA2A optical compressor. The Atlas also features advanced dual-band compression, which provides an independent set of controls for high and low frequencies. Each compression engine has onboard controls for threshold, ratio, attack, release, output, tone, and mix, allowing for precise control of the compact One Series hardware.
The Atlas is packed with so many different types of compression that it could serve as a tour guide through the history of compression gear. First stop: classic pedal crushers such as the legendary Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer and the ubiquitous Dyna Comp. Next stop: universal, omnipresent studio gear like the smooth and fluid LA2A optical compressor and the ultra-responsive 1176 FET compressor. Finally, we take you into total nerd territory with Peak, RMS, VCA, and Dual compression, and an integrated Expander circuit... the Atlas has it all and does it well.
