awesome!

[TRAVIS BICKLE]

thanks holmes!!!! ive been digging your tones as well. some of our other tracks have a crusty / punk rock/ death metal vibe so we share a similar taste in guitar tones.

Haha just wait until january ;D Got a Powerball II coming my way :D

[TRAVIS BICKLE]

no shite? i loved the powerball i played, so i could only imagine how the II sounds.  definitely post some clips!! recently ive been using an axefx ultra with a mesa boogie 295 simulclass power amp live.

[Madsakre]

i hated the powerball. The powerball II is way, way better. Its more like a bar-steward child of a Soldano & a triple rec.

What i absolutely loved was the 3'rd channel.
All from 0 to 10
Gain: 6
Bottom Boost: On
Bass: 4
Mid: 8
Mid focus: 4
Treble: 6
Presence: 9
Mid boost: Off
Depth punch: 10(!)

Loomer and i played with this on volume 1½. The shop was shaking due to the rectifier cabs we played on xD


Best amp ever!!!

[TRAVIS BICKLE]

damn!!!! ive heard great things about the powerball II and the fireball 100. these boards are bad for your health. hahaha. the axefx has cured my GAS somewhat, but i have been fiending to try out a vht deliverance 120, and both engls mentioned above. is the new powerball is also powered by el-34's?

i also have an older mesa boogie dual rectifier which i'll never get rid of. number 63 to be exact. i'll use it to record, but i don't want to play live in case something happens to her. hahaha. 

[Madsakre]

no luckily its not :) Its 6l6gc's. I dont like el 34's :)

[TRAVIS BICKLE]

i do prefer 6L6's to EL-34's, but been really happy using the 6L6's and EL-34L's together in mesa 295. i do want to try KT-88's down the line.

so the powerball II definitely sounds like a totally different beast. must investigate further.
