Synergy Powerball vs Engl Powerball II - Does the Module Have the BALLS?

Follow
The other John Browne

I bought the Synergy Engl Powerball module from a friend a little while. I love Synergy gear and I love Powerballs.
Let's find out if Synergy managed to capture the spirit of the Powerball.

Signal chain:
I'm using a Gibson SG Raw Power tuned to drop C# with a Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickup in the bridge.
The guitar is running into a Lichtlaerm Audio “the King in Yellow” which is only active for the boosted sections. From there the signal goes into an Egnater SS4 Amp Switcher and into the amps. the active amp is routed back into the SS and from there into a Two Notes Torpedo Live with a Vintage 30 IR loaded.
