Vintage Broadcaster

Honestly, if you're happy with the sound of a pickup but just want more of it there are tons of options for clean boosts. Anything from an MXR microamp, to a TC Electronics Spark, to an SP compressor with the mix turned all the way to clean.
 
An advantage of the Pickup Booster is, if you keep it first in your chain, you can use the resonance switch to get humbucker-like tones out of your singles. You cannot do that with most other pedals (GEQ, OD, Distortion, etc.) offering a boost. So while it makes a great pure gain boost, it is not a one trick pony.
