I would love a clean blend on the PGC

Postby nibus » Thu Apr 23, 2009 1:02 pm

So I just sold my PGC.... and I already miss it. Ultimately the reason I sold it was because it doesn't sport a clean blend. I'm weird in that I have to have some of my dry initial attack left untouched.

So it got me thinking.... what would it take to get a dry blend knob put in a PGC? :?:

this is an interesting thought.....i am waiting for a PGC to arrive any day now. for all the "clean" funky rhythm playing i have to do at gigs, i think this pedal will really help to smooth out my sound and make it more "upfront".

i would imagine it is possible to get a clean blend in there...but honestly, the only other compressor i have ever liked as much as the PGC was the TC Sustain/Parametric EQ pedal.....and the PGC wins that race hands down because it doesn't completely "squash" the signal like the TC does, yet it still gets that magical sound.

if you add clean signal to a compressed signal you get 'sustain' - the natural initial attack followed by the signal time increased........ check out the MP Forest Green Comp :wink:

Right - owned one. But I like the PGC better and would like a "blend" knob so i can set the amount of clean signal blended in.

An external blending box could do this easily. It would be a basic FX loop with a parallel blend control and a bypass switch.

Exactly - it is THE closest available, but still when I play with humbuckers I do tend to notice the lack thereof... Single coils I pretty much never notice.

So waddya say BJ - PGC v.2 with clean blend knob? :mrgreen:
