Man, I absolutely LOVE the sparkly clean that you can get from a Powerball.
I did the clean mod to my JTM and it's almost identical!!
Check that out if you have a JTM, you couldn't ask for it to get any closer to an Engl clean. I a/b'd 'em before I sold my Powerball, which I still regret a little...
I'm +1 on the Engl Powerball gain channel though.
My list would probably be...
Engl Powerball (both mid and high gain channels)
Soldano SLO (high gain channel)
Diezel Herbert
Bogner Ubershall
5150 II
I think that they should really put some more effort into ACCURATELY reproducing a Dual Recto tone since none of the others have been able to come close. It seems that no mod can be done to any of the "Recto/Rectified/Treadplate" modules to really get the sound of a Recto. What is it about that Recto tone that's so hard for companies to duplicate?
Maybe replacing the Bass/Mid/Treble knobs with a 7 band graphic EQ would help immensely... Come to think of it, several of the modules could benefit by having a graphic EQ on the module instead of the standard bass/mid/treble knobs. TAKE NOTE RANDALL!!
