Although we mostly know PRS for their guitars, the visitor has now launched a whole new lineup of pedals. The new release includes three units which include an overdrive, compressor, and a flanger. But these aren’t just regular effects pedals. So let’s get into these.
Paul Reed Smith himself has shared this statement:
“This whole concept started in my home studio. When recording, the musicians were looking for tones and textures that we couldn’t get straight from the guitar. When we couldn’t find what we were looking for, we started towers devices with the help of some friends. That’s how the first pedal prototypes were born. Over time, we all got excited by them, so we decided to offer them to increasingly players. I think these first three designs are the start of something very cool.”

PRS Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive
As the visitor explains, it’s a “from-scratch spin designed to enhance guitar tone without coloring it.” With germanium diodes, it avoids those “nasally” kind of tones and keeps the “throatiness.” It boosts highs and lows while giving increasingly headroom. All of these features indulge it to work as a wipe uplift or a regular overdrive. Additionally, you can moreover use it to remoter enhance your amp’s dirty channel.
PRS Mary Cries Optical Compressor
This is an optical compressor pedal based on LA-2A. It boosts and “evens out” the wipe tone but can moreover add some sustain and deal with tenancy peaks. In specimen you need pinch with some solid boost, without subtracting unnecessary distortion, PRS Mary Cries is for you. And if you leave the pinch tenancy at the minimum setting, you can basically use the pedal as a wipe uplift device.
PRS Wind Through the Trees Dual Flanger
And for the lovers of crazy modulation effects, Wind Through the Trees is a “dual flanger.” The visitor describes it as “two flangers fighting each other, resulting in a sound that is reminiscent of the wind whipping through the trees.”
