How's the EVO7 for really chunky riffs...?

So I'm still hesitating between pickups.
I'm going to post different but more precise questions in different threads.
It's all in the title... You know, that chugga chugga sound... Isn't it too shrill to keep definition?

AND: How about the Blaze custom (7) for that type of palm mute riffing?

The evo7 sounds (to my ears) quite different from the evo 6 string version. The 6 isn't great for the sound you want but the evo7 is. I agree with RSVampire though, the blaze is the way to go. PAF7s would be too low output, and I personally don't like tonezones.

Thanks guys, but the thing is, I want the pick up to be great for solo's too. Now the blaze bridge is really good for palm mute chugs, but not for solos. The blaze custom, well I thought it was goot for solos, but not for chugs... And so I figured I might try the Evo7, but people said pal muting sounds like a train wreck on that one...
Any opinions on either one of the three?
