Powerball Settings

i know there was a thread like this, but i didn't find the right answers...

i play my powerball through an ENGL V60 straight cab, with an Ibanez RG (DiMarzio PU's)
my current settings are

Gain: 8 or a touch more
Bass: 6-7
Mid-focused: 5
Mid-open: 3
Treble: 8-9
Presence: 8
Depth Punch: 9-10
Hi and Lo Lead Bottom buttons pressed.

I want to get a tight and aggressive tone, the V60 cab sounds really dark so i turned the bass a little lower so it won't get too muddy, i put the Depth Punch up high so i get some balls into the tone..

could you recommend anything to improve the tone, cause i think it could be better

I've never played an ENGL Powerball, but I imagine that you would'nt need that much gain. Turn it to 6 and see if that makes a difference.

less depth punch, more bass, way more middle (focussed) oh and way less presence, like 5/6 max.

IMO the v60 cab isnt' that great, I play my powerball through a marshall 1960b cab which just sounds better...
