Got rid of my Seymour Duncan SH6 (Distortion) that came with my Edwards Les Paul and installed a set of Phat Cats (P90s in a humbucker size). I love them, the guitar has less output but it's A LOT more clear and punchy.
I'm not playing metal anymore so I wanted great cleans and bluesy tones and these Phat Cats Deliver! but the best thing is the AMAZING rock tone they provide.
the amp is an Egnater Renegade Head into a Tourmaster 2x12 cab
P90s rule! I've completely quite humbuckers.

Would you say the amp works well for rise against? with or without the SH6

It sounds heavenly in the neck position. I want this in the neck position to accomodate the Pearly Gates humbucker thats going to be in the bridge of my guitar. And your demo has convinced me! Thanks a lot!

I have an Edwards Les Paul (mine's white), and was thinking of getting some humbucker-sized P90s for it. Great to see these handle a wide variety of tones!

@TheVibeBandTV I'm wanted P90s tone....and Phat cats are somewhat of a P90 in a humbucker casing.

@SaintZ42 no man, I'm not using any distortion pedal, or boost. it's straight up Guitar > amp. And the gain wasn't that high either... (at the end around the 4:00 mark I did upped the gain quite a bit, but other than that, it wasn't that gain heavy.... Awesome pickups I must say......at least in this guitar.

Are you you using a distortion pedal are the amps? I have a phat cant bridge with a bare knuckle blackguard flat 52 neck (wonderful for blues). But I cant seem to get any good distortion out of it, using my peavy deuce VT amp. I'm thinking about buying a humbucker, but could effects pedal's just solve my problem.

The Jb SH4 set would have been also good for ur current style I reckon
