I have a Powerball. Savage's are pretty spectacular, though. They carry KT88 power section, which I'd now probably prefer to the 6L6.

Noise Gate on the Powerball is not very transparent. Too tight for my liking....but then again, I don't actually use the high gain channels on it anymore.

My gripe with the Powerball is that the clean channel is actually out of phase with the gain channel. So going from the 2nd stage of the clean channel to the 1st stage of the gain channel (something I did a lot of) caused this odd phase shift that was super noticeable due to using two amps.

The mod I had made was to correct the phase of the gain channel. Essentially, to do this, most of the gain was sucked out of the gain channel. This is fine with me, as I'm not really as into highly saturated gain as I am into layered overdrive tones.

Most of my gripes have come with growing out of the death metal thing and I love the modded version of the powerball I've got now.

I can totally respond to pointed questions about the powerball, though. I definitely have some experience with it.
