I cant seem to get the gain up to where the LEDs flicker in the red.i have the inputs cranked and it aint goin. I do however get some major clipping even at what seems like low volume levels.

Go to IO page and up the input level.
Before you change it please let us where it currently is.
What I recommend is keeping in mind that a lot of the fatness you here on the Guitar on Black Clouds is coming from the Bass. Especially on Black Clouds and Systematic Chaos the Bass is buried in the Mix but it is so locked with the Guitar that it makes the Guitar huge, while the baseline itself is barely hearable. Its like Bass & Guitar are becoming almost one Instrument with huge Punch and Fatness on the one hand and amazing clarity on the other.
On the other Side, on my JP inspired patches I use Drive-Amp(Mark IIc+ or IV)-Cab(Recto 4x12 RW with R121)-PEQ (-5db at 750hz) and then the most important part: TONE MATCH! I recommend using some of his Mark V Demos for this, especially Channel 2 Crunch mode sounds fine! Additionally I always found the sweet spot in tone matching at about 60% Mix for High Gain JP matches.
In the I/O page: INSTR IN @ 79.2%, INPUT 1 @ 69.8%.
This tone I made is with a FRIEDMAN HBE amp. Cab is a Mesa Sim (Mesa Petrucci.syx) It doesnt feel right.

It all starts with the cab IRs. When you have the wrong cabs you could tweak forever and never get there.
The cab IR is far more important. People get caught up on the amp when it's the cabinet that supplies most of the tone. Try those new Ownhammer beta IRs.
