Hey All,
I've been fiddling with the only ENGL model in the AxeFX so far, the Powerball, and trying to get a nice power metalish tone in the vein of Angra or Hammerfall, both of which use the Savage 120 head (Wishlist!!!).
After 3 weeks tweaking and comparing recordings, I've come far enough to share a clip with you.
This is a cover of the song "Heeding the Call" by Hammerfall.

Hard panned L and R are 2 tracks of the Powerball through the RedWirez Mesa IRs, Fredman Technique (Cap 0in + Cap Off Axis 0in)
Center panned is a single track of the Powerball through the RedWirez Marshall w/ V30s cabsim, same mic setup.
There's very little post processing on the guitars, just a Low Pass filter on the highs around 12khz, and a small dip in the mids at 2khz. The marshall one got a boost in the 1khz range.
Let me know what you think, and what can I do to improve this.
Best,
Alex
