You know I think alot of people when they are wanting a distortion pedal they just as much want the compression/sustain from the distortion effect....and the EQ changes
if they were given a choice of only having the sustain of the dirt pedal or having the dirt itself many would take the sustain/compression ....
thats part of the magic of the PGC LGW SBEQ trio ~~~ you can separate the Sustain and the Dirt and the EQ ---- its fun to have those three set up so that all the LGW is adding is dirt and when you take it out the only change is the dirt but the sustain and EQ stay the same..... a stinging sustaining clean sound can be just as satisfying as a full on distortion pedal.....

I noticed that the MP has a compressor/sustain switch which I find interesting since I never liked the spike of the note lopped off for blues style, but I do like sustain and there could be times compression would be a good thing.

A+ on that...it's like it goes right back into the sustain pedal of a piano. There is NO dirt or distortion there, just suuweet sustain whenever you want. A REALLY good acoustic hums the same way.

I don't, however, use it after my dirt boxes; I use it first in my chain. You can create wonderful sounding clean tones by stacking it into a relatively clean running OD (like the HBOD or Tim, in my case) and I've also found that it can really open up the higher freq sparkle on certain higher gain pedals (my Landgraff MO-D is the most notable example that I, personally, have experience with; I haven't yet tried it with my Model H, as I'm still tooooo in love with the sound of the Model H stacked into the HBOD!). I wasn't too impressed with the Landgraff until I hit it with the PGC. Then it was like - WOW - a whole other sonic world!
Can't compare the PGC to the FGC, as I've never had the privilege of playing a PGC. I'll give you a complete shootout review once I get my PGC DLX.
