A new, optical compressor inspired by the famous LA-2A unit.

SKU: PRSOPTICALCOMPRESSOR
Designed from the ground up by PRS Guitars in Stevensville, MD, the Mary Cries Optical Compressor is inspired by the famous hand-wired, tube based LA-2A compressor. Designed to thicken your tone, add lengthy sustain and tame signal peaks, the Mary Cries pushes your tone to the limit without losing definition or clarity.
With only two controls for Compression and Output Gain on hand, the Mary Cries makes compression incredibly simple. It's natural sound and response will have you forgetting that it's even turned on, but you will definitely notice when the pedal is bypassed! It may even become your new "always-on" pedal! The Mary Cries also features a handy LED that indicates how hard the compressor is working as you're playing!
Accolades
“I can be snobby when it comes to compressor pedals. Compressor pedals with only a few controls scare me as they can often squeeze too much too quickly. Mary Cries doesn’t do that and reacts to my playing in a musical way. I actually liked using it as a clean boost with a touch of compression!” - Corey Congilio
“A good compression pedal is one of the most crucial components to my pedal board but often overlooked because it’s not nearly as sexy as a crazy delay or wild octave shifter. The new PRS Mary Cries does a phenomenal job of keeping all the notes and tones from all over my fretboard tight and balanced. For anyone who utilizes compression for fingerpicking or all-over the-neck-two-hand-tapping, this thing is my new favourite. I really appreciate the blue compression light coming on to show me when and how hard it’s working. That feedback is fantastic for knowing when the pedal is digging in. Entirely lovely and a wonderful new addition to my board.” - David Knudson
