Optical compression
Provides smooth compression intended to control peaks, add sustain, and retain clarity.

Independent shopping perspective
PRS Mary Cries puts optical compression and added sustain on a compact pedalboard footprint. Its two controls—Output Gain and Compression—keep adjustments direct when you need to refine dynamics during a song. Use it to add body to clean parts, smooth level peaks in driven sounds, or give lead lines more sustain while preserving the core character of your tone. A rugged enclosure, quality jacks and switches, and standard 9V power make it suited to regular gigging setups.
