I take it to mean something dynamic, like a single coil, into something that's enough on the edge of breakup that the dynamic range of the guitar is expressed in variable amounts of overdrive rather than absolute volume changes - so if you dig in the note's not louder, but it's meaner sounding and then cleans up which gives a tonal shift...
... while at the same time having a hole in the mids somewhere, so that it's got a notched or vowely character to the tone rather than being roaring, snarly, or particularly in your face.

Presumably it's the opposite of crunchy
So @Cirrus you reckon "chewy" is essentially "compressed"?

I might be totally wrong anyway, it's just what I've taken it to mean

That makes sense.
These words are rarely used on their own so probably depends on context too.
But on the other hand, it is only useful if everybody uses the same word to describe the same thing
for an amp having a chewie sound might to be to do with it's compression.
