Maybe not for the distortion crowd

Anonymous 06.11.2015

Got this as a set with the APH-1N, which I love, but I have to say I'm less enthused with this one.

To be fair there's nothing wrong with the pickup, it's just as advertised: clear, clean, low output pickup for someone who wants to get distortion from the amp instead of the pickup. If that's what you're looking for, definitely go for it. It'll fit the bill nicely, and build quality is great.

I, however, ended up discovering that it wasn't quite what I wanted after all. It sounds very nice through effects, but on its own it's just a bit too thin and tame for my taste. I'll probably end up swapping it for a '59 or JB.

Super Sound und tolle Verarbeitung

Michael754 31.10.2009

Aktuell spiele ich eine Ibanez Artcore Semi im ES 335 Style. Der originale Steg Humbucker ist für mein Gehör klanglich sehr mittig ausgelegt. Die Höhen kratzen und die Bässe kommen etwas schwach. So wie es meistens bei "günstigeren" Pickups der Fall ist. Ich denke, jeder weiß was ich da meine. :o)

Der Seymour Duncan SAPH-1B Alnico II klingt auf jeden Fall richtig gut! Die Höhen kratzen jetzt nicht mehr, klingen sehr klar und transparent. Die Bässe kommen warm und kraftvoll rüber. Aufgrund des dezenten Mittenbereichs klingt dieser Pickup in meiner Gitarre sehr ausgewogen und passt gut zu dem Seymour Duncan SH2N in der Halsposition.

Der Pickup unterstützt sehr gut dynamisches Spiel, klingt im verzerrten Bereich sehr sauber und fett und singt bei Leadsounds wie "Hölle". :o) (Ich bin mir zwar nich ganz sicher, aber ich glaube "Slash" spielt den Pickup in seinen Les Pauls!)

Fazit, tolle Verarbeitung, Qualität und Sound!

Une référence de chez Seymour Duncan

Arnaud249 14.03.2016

J'ai installé un set de APH-1 version nickel sur une guitare hollow body Ibanez as103.

Ces micros visent clairement les guitares type Les Paul. Sur une guitare comme la mienne, le son est un peu plus clair, il faut prendre le temps d'ajuster les micros et l'eq de l'ampli.
Sur une hollow body, on sent de suite une qualité de son et un certain espace/sustain vraiment impressionnant.

Le rendu est excellent, très net/précis et qui met bien en valeur la chaleur de l'ampli. On est clairement dans le domaine du blues/rock, mais ces micros restent très versatiles.
