Any of these on its own covers the same amount of sounds as 2-3 top-end boutique pedals, but the magic comes when you tie the back panels together:
Control voltage (CV) ins and outs let the the controls on one pedal manipulate another. They are really a modular analog synth that works equally as well with guitars and basses as with keyboards. You can merge them into things like an envelope-controlled flanger or vibrato, modulated echoes that leave the dry signal clean, etc. It would take a very long time to run out of new possibilities.
Some of the others I've been using lately (especially on bass) are an EBS BassIQ envelope filter, MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, Eden Analog Austin overdrive, and most recently a Way Huge Swollen Pickle. I'll skip the obvious 'Ball jokes on that one...

I really think the build quality ( mostly ) sets G&L apart. I think the MFD's make them special and can't imagine swapping them out. I love my SC-2 but it has sharp fret ends that are really starting to bug me. That is the one draw back of buying online. It would have been too much of a hassle to send it back. That being said it shouldn't be that expensive to remedy. My S-500 neck is smooth as silk. I only have two pedals, one is a Marshall Bluesbreaker clone that I built myself and the other is a Boss loop station. I will eventually pick up a Catalinbread SFT pedal which is good for bass and guitar.

Eddie - The light is playing blues? I thought that was rehashing stuff as you can't see past innovation or creativity . I'll just stay over here and not play the blues. I do seem to recall a lot of blues artists using screamer type pedals to slam their amp though... Not to mention a lot of delay variants...

You have seen the light! For playing blues nothing beats a good tube amp pushed a bit into natural saturation. I know pedals do have their place if you are playing pop or other types of music that require specific sounds, or if you are in situations where you can't crank your amp loud enough to take advantage of its natural drive. Lucifer, you have some great amps. I'd love to hear you demo some of them without any effects, especially your new one that you raved about. I hate it when I see someone demos an amp or guitar and it is altered by effects.
