The Official Atlas Introduction Video

Here it is, the official Source Audio demo of the Atlas Compressor. We sat down with Source Audio President Roger Smith and SA engineers Jesse Remignanti, Bob Chidlaw, and Christopher Venter (also the owner and sole engineer at SHOE Pedals) to discuss the engineering and inspiration behind the many compressor options available in the Atlas. This ambitious compressor pedal offers a comprehensive collection of compression circuits that perfectly capture the tone and feel of the industry’s most sought-after compressors, ranging from classic stompbox compressors like the now-discontinued Diamond Optical Compressor to high-end rack units such as the snappy 1176 compressor and the smooth and gentle LA2A optical compressor. The vides also explores the advantages of the Dual Band Compression as well as the additional free compressor circuits available in the Neuro Editor. Neuro compressors include sounds based on the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer, the Dyna Comp, and many more.

Also, big THANKS to Dan King (he played many of the guitar clips in this video) and the rest of our friends at The Music Emporium in Lexington, MA for letting us record some clips in their amazing guitar store in Lexington, Massachusetts. Also, thank you to Paul Candilore, Niko Pappas, and Phil Cambra for playing additional guitar clips in this video.
