I don't really know how P&W differs from other genres of music but I imagine that it would mid-gain territory. For that I would recommend the Matchbox D-30, AC-20 Dlx and other "Class A" amps.

AC20 is too strident/brittle to me, in real life as well. lots of guys love them, though.
yeah you can tame it, i just prefer the voicing and feel of the DC30 much more. has been my "real life" experience as well.As with the real amp I dial in quite a bit of Hi-Cut.
I'm looking to try a new amp for Praise & Worship settings.
I need something with smooth gain / distortion while playing chords,
And would like singing sustain for leads.
What do you recommend?

there are obviously similarities, since they are based off the AC circuit, but there is def different vibes within those amps.I try to think outside the box when it comes to worship tones. It seems most use an class A Vox style amp (with good reason, they sound great), but at least in my experience, they all sound the same. I tried a real Morgan AC20 for a while, but could never get it to work for me.
I personally use Marshall style amps such as the 1959SLP Jump, or the Plexi 100. Like kleydj13 mentioned above, they clean up extremely well with the volume control.
Also check out the Suhr Badger 18 or the 5F8 Tweed (Keith Urban's amp). Both sound great with reverb, delay, and any number of drives.
Hope this helps.
I've always wanted to like the Badgers but just can't get along with them at all...
