here is a snippet of a song i just recorded, using an engl powerball v1 mixed with a savage (80%-20%).
IMO the engl sounds too fizzy, but perhaps that's just the first version, i heard they updated it and got rid of that problem.
that was the reference given by the band, so i'd say "mission acomplished"
thanks.
yes, cabs are very important, here an engl v30 was used, i like the cheaper stdandard version way better (celestion v60) for metal, imo there's no better cab for hard stuff, it's got creamier beefier low-mids than the v30 and less harsh high-mids-
the difference between those 2 can roughly be described by the difference between sm57&md421 or el34%6l6
