I am not sure who uses this pickup.
Stock pickups not capable of delivering the tones "I" want to hear.

Out put level is much like a P-90. Only much clearer and more refined. Also no noise when being used at massive gain levels.
I use a Tech 21 Trademark 300 Head. I plug the head directly into a 4-12 cabinet loaded with Peavey Black Widow Speakers. I also use the line out which feeds a Peavey M-3000 power amp that feeds another 4-12 cabinet loaded with Black Widows. I have a Peavey Kosmos and an Alto EQ in my rack which are the only effects I use when needed to add some tonal variety.
The tone of this pickup is very much like a P-90. It is capable of delivering excellent blues,bluesrock,classicrock and metal tones with no problems.

If this pickup were lost or stolen I would immediately order another set.
I would like to add that I am a self taught guitarist. I do not use or play equipment that most musicians would consider the "norm". I play metal with an open minor tuning with flatwound strings. All I can say to anyone out there is you have to find and do what works for you as an individual. Any music store I go into and ask about an amplifier they always ask what type of music do you play I say metal so they bring me over to the Marshall section. Marshalls don't work for "me". Understand?
