I also just got a FGC in the mail, so far I am fairly impressed. I tend not to do so well with compressors, I've been on the never ending search for the compressor that fits me. So far I dig the FGC, mostly on the Sustainer setting. Zion, can you suggest some sorta subtle settings that you've been digging? I am just trying to get the hang of this thing.

So far I definitely like it more than the other alternatives I have tried (barber, monte-allums, dyna comps, diamond etc.). Its somehow fuller sounding. More updates will come with time.

I've got the comp first in line. L=10:00, C=1:00, T=Hair less than noon. I'm switching between comp and sustain. This is very similar to how I ran the BJFE comp.
Having the sustain-side up is pretty sweet. Kinda like an "enhancer" for the whole rig. Comp is the pedal that gets moved around a ton on my board. It's a chameleon depending on where its in the chain. In the latest Tone Quest P. Cornish said that comps should go first in line, so that's where mine went today.
I'm really gonna put in some time with these pedals tonight and will report any happiness they bring.

I just put two more hours of jamming the FGC in, and I thought it sounded gorgeous in sustain mode. works very well with chords and helps to enhance the clean tone with more of everything. really adding the "oomph" I was hoping for to my clean rhythms. I found that I liked it better in compression mode for leads and fast arpeggios, but honestly, I miss the tonal "enhancement" of the sustain mode as soon as I switch off of it. A more in depth review will likely follow tomorrow. Sounds great for now though.

hmmm I wonder if there is a way to use both sustain and comp at the same time? or will it only be one or the other?

well I think 'sustain' is compression with the normal attack/leading edge of the note - not sure if you can blend between the two......
