Yeah, my LP has definitely improved after the change. Funny thing is, before this change, I only really used my LP with the British 80s amp model (which sounds like a Marshall), because it's the only one that could give me a sound I liked (the Fender Models and British 60s only really sounded good with my SG and ES, both of which use their stock Alnico Classic II PRO pickups).

Before the change, I would usually just crank the Gain and Treble and kill the Bass (with my Les Paul, that is). Now, I find that it sounds great with almost any kind of tone. I can dial in a nice Blues-tone through an emulated VOX AC30, or a modern Rock/Metal-tone through an emulated Mesa Boogie amp, and it will still sound great. Or I can use a nice clean '65 Fender Spring Reverb and a heavy distortion from a Dist-pedal and still get it to sound great! And that's despite those all being emulated amps and not the real deal. I honestly think those 103£ were very well spent!
