READ DESCRIPTION FOR MORE INFO!!!

Hello,
This video is a follow up of my previous video where I unbox and disassemble these Epiphone Probucker and Alnico Classic Pro from AliExpress.
This is a comparison between these pickups and a pair of Seymour Duncan Jazz + JB.

Gear:
Everything was recorded with a Vintage Les Paul v100 Lemon Drop through a Line6 Pod Studio GX using Pod Farm and Audacity software.
Same guitar, same strings, same amp presets. Pickup height was approximately 2.5mm on all pickups.
The amp presets and settings can be seen at the end of the video.

Personal note:
All the pickups sound kinda similar through these emulated amplifiers but they are actually very different when you plug them into a real tube amp.
Through my Bugera V22 I noticed that, to my ears, the Alnico Classic Pro neck pickup was very similar to the SD Jazz - both had a lot of mids - while the Probucker was a bit more heavy on the treble side and had considerably less mids. The bridge pickups all sounded very different from each other but the JB had the most clarity and note separation on high distortion settings, probably because it has double the DC resistance than the other two, idk.
I'm sorry i couldn't get any footage of this since the only way i could do it would be by recording it with my phone, and that probably would not be good enough.
