Singing creamy sustain certainly sounds like an amp in a box type pedal, or a pedal that offers amp like sounds. It's a tough one to be sure.

Not wishing to intrude chaps but! I have a caline crazy cacti which is a clone of the fulltone full drive 2 mosfet. I was under the impression that the full drive is based on the tube screamer circuit? With the added (modded?) bells and whistles. Also the boost side of the peddle only works when the drive is on.
The clone is not a bad pedal and quite versatile. How close it is to the original well your guess is as good as mine?

It could be based on a tubescreamer BW3F, I'm not too well versed in what is a clone of what. I was just throwing my 2p worth guess at a possible avenue to try.

Me neither MartinB, I just read about it in my search for an OD pedal. I got the fulltone clone before the klon clone. I found you have to spend a bit of time with the fulltone clone due to all the setting possibilities. It does produce some good tones but the klon clone was not only easier to use it was more pleasing sound wise for me. It may well be more up DefJef's street, or possibly the timmy clone he has on order will? As already said, perhaps its a matter of getting the right pedal and right speaker to suit your amp?

I did think about suggesting those multi loop switch things. But I'm not entirely sure they work how I think they do.
Can you assign each foot switch to engage 3 or 4 pedals? Can you assign the same pedal to more than one loop?
I rember watching a Pete Thorn video with him demonstrating the IR thingys on his Suhr amp. He had pedals on his board with a switching duberry, if I followed it correctly he had a couple of lead settings and a few rhythm/tone options he could switch between. All a bit too techy for me I'm afraid but if your a gigging musician, it must be godsend?

Shame you can't go into a big guitar store and try out a bunch of different types of pedal, then leave and buy a cheaper clone online

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Whilst reading other folks' experiences of the Pegasus online to see is they are getting better luck with it, I came across a guts shot of the OTHER side of the board. Might be useful to some folks interested in the pedal. I see it IS a plastic shaft on the gain knob. I wonder why? There was some helpful descriptive stuff from the reviewer too. " The op-amps are 4558s, like TS types, not TLO72s like Klons, the charge pump is also a different chip than the original, but everything else seems to be correct. You can see the dual gang gain pot in between the tone and volume pots, and the two clipping diodes could be either germanium or silicon, although they look similar to other germaniums I've seen, I can't tell just by looking. Everything is SM, which I already confirmed in an earlier post. The 8 pin chip on the left is the gain chip, with the clipping diodes beneath it, the middle chip is the output buffer, and the one on the right is the charge pump."

That's the dual pot is it not? That I spoke of the other day. Perhaps that's what caline use due to cost etc? Good pic DefJef, from the text you posted it appears it's pretty faithful to the klon circuit if I read it correctly.
