Introducing the new Paul Reed Smith Mary Cries Optical Compressor Pedal.

The Mary Cries optical compressor pedal is intuitive and sounds incredible. Based on the storied LA-2A studio compressor, the Mary Cries will thicken your tone, help control signal peaks, lengthen sustain, and push your tone without losing definition or clarity.

Depending on your settings, it can be used as a boost as well as a straightforward compressor.

“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

PRS pedals were created to be high-end pieces of audio gear.

Designed by PRS Guitars in Stevensville, MD, USA.
Made in the USA.

“We believe the pedals we’ve created are highly usable, great-sounding pieces of professional gear. A real magic pedal makes the board. We’re trying to make pedals that make the board and stay on it.” - Paul Reed Smith
