DiMarzio Breed are really full tone and imo perfect for achiving the tone you're looking for. I have a set in an alder Charvel and it really got a phat tone with the alder clear sustain. The distortion becomes very clean and string-separated. Not muddy of muffled.
I also have a set of Evolution (Steve Vai's second set of pups) but imho Breed is the way to go for "full tones" a'la DT -------------------- My bands homepage

But..
Do you really want to install pickups that are worth more than the guitar? How about a new guitar? |

I suggest that you replace one pickup (bridge if you play rhythm&lead, or neck if you play riffs only). Get a hi output passive pickup for starters.
There are pickup selectors/wizards on Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan sites, and you can choose the body wood, and configuration there, and the wizard will recommend some pups. Try to analyze carefully and buy! IMHO, Seymour Duncan JB (bridge) & Jazz (neck) configuration works very good for just about any type of gig, so you might wanna check those out. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
