Between the two Engl modules which one do you like better the Savage or the Powerball? Based on knowledge of the amps, I would think Savage for me, but I see a lot of praise for the Powerball. I have never used Engl before, but I opened for Last in Line and Vivian Campbell used an Engl Blackmore (I believe) and I loved his tone that night. Seems the Blackmore is a streamlined Savage.
 
I own both. I find the powerball to be easier to dial in. A leaner sound when desired with more high mids and highs. Also has an extremely usable clean. The savage is thicker and (apologize for this one…) more savage and aggressive. To me they are complimentary but if I had to pick one the powerball would stay for sure.
