    • Our take on the PRS Mary Cries

    The PRS Mary Cries is an analog optical compressor pedal built around an LA-2A-style T4 opto cell, with simple Level and Compression controls plus a gain-reduction meter. It is a compact, set-and-forget compressor that smooths strums and adds sustain rather than offering the tweakable attack, release and ratio controls of studio-style compressor pedals. It suits players who want a warm, musical squeeze with minimal fiddling, and it fits easily on a crowded board at 3.7 by 4.7 inches.

    Best forGuitarists who want simple, warm compressionCountry and indie players after even strumsPlayers stacking it before overdriveSmall boards with limited space
    Pros
    • Optical T4-style circuit gives smooth, musical compression
    • Only two knobs plus a gain-reduction meter, so it is quick to dial in
    • Compact footprint for a pedalboard
    • True bypass keeps the signal clean when off
    • Works as an always-on tone thickener
    Cons
    • No attack, release or ratio controls for fine-tuning
    • Optical compression is slow and subtle, not a squash effect
    • No blend knob for parallel compression
    • Limited appeal for players wanting studio-grade control

    Questions and answers

    What does the Mary Cries compressor do?
    It is an analog optical compressor that evens out picking dynamics and adds sustain. It uses an LA-2A-style opto cell, so the squeeze is smooth and gradual rather than aggressive.
    Does it have attack and release controls?
    No. It has Level and Compression knobs and a gain-reduction meter only. The optical circuit sets its own attack and release, so you shape the sound with the Compression knob and your playing.
    Where should it go in my signal chain?
    Most players put it first, right after the guitar, to feed a consistent signal into drives and amps. It also works late in the chain as a gentle always-on leveler.
    Is it true bypass?
    Yes, it is true bypass, so it does not load your signal when switched off.
    How big is it?
    It measures about 3.7 inches wide, 4.7 inches long and 1.37 inches tall, and weighs about 1.1 pounds. It runs on a standard 9V pedalboard supply.
