I just had to say it - I've had Gibson P94s in my cheap SG clone guitar for a couple of years now (they did cost more than the guitar 
), and they continue to amaze me - I have them set up to humbuck when the toggle is in the center position. I use the toggle and the volume and tone knobs - rarely are the knobs all the way up - and come up with *many* wildly different and good sounds, don't use any pedals and can't think of why I would want to. I wind up playing this clone a lot more than my Gibson SG Supreme with 57 Classics (nothing against that guitar, which is awesome).
I don't have any meaningful experience with P90s, so I don't know whether these sound slightly different or not - they are, of course, meant to be the P90 for a humbucker sized hole. It's conceivable they have more copper, because I think they're a little bigger. Here's a pic:
These don't get as much love as P90s, perhaps because they're not the "real" thing? But if you have a blah guitar with two blah double coil pickups, I highly recommend you check'em out. They do tend to hum, like any single coil (but not when they're humbucking - toggle center - *dead* quiet in that position), but you learn how to work with that soon enough.
