PRS Guitars has announced its entry into the pedal market with three stompboxes. Designed by PRS Guitars in Stevensville, Maryland, and made in the U.S., the lineup consists of a Transparent Overdrive, Optical Compressor, and Dual Flanger. The PRS Horsemeat transparent overdrive is a from-scratch circuit designed to enhance guitar tone without coloring it. Using germanium diodes, Horsemeat gives a throatiness without sounding nasal or too high-pitched and deliver harmonic richness. The PRS Mary Cries optical compressor is based on the LA-2A and helps to harness players’ dynamic audio range. The PRS Wind Through the Trees (pictured) is a dual flanger that offers a sound reminiscent of the wind whipping through the trees.
