Wolftone Fenris Humbucker - Magnet Comparison (Wolftone Fenris vs Timbre Wolf)

In the video today, I'm comparing different magnets in my Fenris humbucker from Wolfetone pickups. The pickup comes with an Alnico II magnet by default but can also be used with an Alnico V magnet, so I decided to try out each and see what differences it made to the sound and feel.

A quick note on the title: Wolfetone offers two different higher output pickups with Alnico magnets - the Fenris and the Timbre Wolf. The Fenris uses an Alnico II magnet while the Timbre Wolf uses and Alnico V. According to Wolfe, the pickups share the same coils, and the main difference between them is the magnet, so I figured that by comparing both magnets in my Fenris I'd be giving a decent demonstration of how each pickup sounds.

From Wolfe: "Once nice thing about the Fenris is that it shares the same coils with the Timbre Wolf, so swapping the magnet to an Alnico 5, you can try both versions"

All sounds were recorded using my Victory V50 amplifier with an MXR M300 reverb pedal in the loop.

Coil-Tapped Clean: V50 channel one in clean mode, with Xotic SP Compressor

Humbucker Clean: V50 channel one in clean mode, with Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser
