Effect Types Compressor
Optical compressor for a fat guitar tone
The PRS Mary Cries Optical Compressor is an effects pedal for electric guitars that is based on iconic vintage studio compressors and made in the USA. This compressor pedal features an analogue design and produces a particularly fat guitar tone by controlling signal peaks and adding sustain – without any loss in sound precision whatsoever. Its control options allow guitarists to use the pedal not only as a compressor but also as a boost by completely turning down the compression effect and dialling up the output gain. The Mary Cries Optical Compressor also features true bypass switching, so that the guitar signal passes through unaffected and without any colouration to the tone when the pedal is switched off.

Intuitive use and a clear sound
The PRS Mary Cries Optical Compressor features a remarkably simple and intuitive user interface that comprises just two control knobs. One of the potentiometers solely serves to adjust the amount of compression that is applied to the signal. An adjacent LED lights up as soon as the fixed threshold is exceeded and compression is engaged. This is where the particular strength of optical compressors comes in, since they allow compression to be set to a very high level without affecting the definition or clarity of the tone. The second control knob is used to set the output gain. What is more, the pedal’s through-hole design makes it particularly robust to handle and play.

The epitome of minimalism
All of the PRS Mary Cries Optical Compressor's connections are conveniently located on the top of the pedal, which allows it to be integrated into a pedalboard in a space-saving manner. It can be powered either via a 9V or 18V DC adapter (not included in the scope of delivery) or via a 9V battery, which perfectly caters to the needs of those who prefer to use their pedal outside the confines of the studio without a mains adapter. The Mary Cries Optical Compressor pedal also makes a convincing case for any musician playing live on dimly lit stages thanks to its status LED light that clearly indicates whether or not the compression effect is active. And with its robust design, this pedal will be a reliable companion for any guitarist going on tour.

About PRS
Paul Reed Smith Guitars is an American manufacturer of top-of-the-range electric guitars. Based in Stevensville, Maryland, the company was founded in 1985 by Paul Reed Smith, who had already been making guitars on his own since the mid-1970s as part of his music degree. PRS Guitars owes its breakthrough to guitar legend Carlos Santana, who liked the guitars so much that he soon ordered custom-made instruments from the firm. Since then, the product range has grown to include basses, acoustic guitars, and amplifiers. The list of PRS artists is abundant with big names: John Mayer, Mark Tremonti, Alex Lifeson, and Mark Holcomb are just a handful of the signature artists who testify to the quality of PRS instruments.
Mix-ready sound in the studio, nuanced tone on stage
In the studio, the PRS Mary Cries Optical Compressor ensures that the user's guitar signal can be used directly for mixing without the need for complicated dynamic post-processing. Dialling the compression knob up high brings out every nuance of the notes being played, making fine details audible that would otherwise remain unnoticed, from significantly increased sustain and fret noise through to sounds created by finger sliding, picking, and chord changes. Bringing these nuances to the fore during playing can make rather simple and contained passages sound significantly more dynamic. On the other hand, this compressor pedal is equally useful whenever a highly dynamic sound needs to be evened out in a very simple way. Of course, the PRS Mary Cries Optical Compressor can also be used in conjunction with a guitar amplifier in order to significantly increase the volume of the uncompressed guitar signal before the preamp and thus make greater use of preamp distortion.
