Good humbuckers for Muffs

Does anyone have a recommendation for some humbuckers for an MIJ Squier Supersonic? I really love muff based fuzzes, so i'm guessing something with a decent about of mids would be desirable? Anyone have any ideas?

wolfetone and wagner are the gods of classic hum bucker tones.

I like my Bare Knuckle Riff Raff but that's in my SG. Friend had a VHII in his strat like guitar. Maybe that might work better for the super sonic.

I really love the sound of my Lace Sensor Red in the bridge and the Blue in the neck with my op amp muff.

I have a double slug Heavy Air Divebomb that plays very well with Muff style fuzz.

I find something a little more vintagey voiced/lower output works better with muff fuzzes. Maybe something like a Duncan Pearly Gates?

all of them, you just need to like the sound of your guitar.. that is why pedals have knobs.

I think you'd be much better served by hot single coils, like Dearmond, P90, Seymour Duncan 1/4 lb'er, Staple pickup, etc...
Most Muffs suck with 'buckers. A midrange control of some sort can help, but, take that sound and feed it a single coil and it's infinitely more usable.

Better yet T-Armonds. I just added one to my SG in the neck along with a BG Pure 90 in the bridge. The guitar went from being my last choice with 'buckers ('57 Classics, then 490R/498T) to my main squeeze.
