"Chewy" Guitars

Anybody ever heard of this term?  I've used it for a while and it's hard to describe.  It's more of an overdrive sound vs. distortion - kind of "tubey" and fat.  I had a guitarist in my studio last night and this is the tone we got - a combo of a Twin Reverb, a Vox Copperhead Drive and a Les Paul.  Here it is:

Anybody ever heard of this term?  What do you call it?

'Chewy' is a good term. In the example you provide it has an almost onomatopoeic quality - if you accent the 'CHE-' component of the word 'chewy' it works well. Other words that might be applicable could be 'crunchy' or 'gritty', but I guess different people will hear different things and describe it in their own ways.
