A couple more suggestions:
- Make sure you start without reverb. For high gain sounds, the default reverb settings are too high and can make everything blend together and sound muddy. Start without reverb altogether, and add it later if you want it.
- For the sound you're looking for, you may want to try the Energyball sim and recto cabs if you haven't already.
- If it sounds too muddy or boomy, remove some lows before the amp and add back after (i.e. PEQ before amp and after amp/cab).
- If you're using 7.18 Firmware, make sure amp depth is turned way down to start with. Add it back in to taste.
- Fine tune with EQ at the end of the signal chain.
- This is probably an obvious one: if you have hot pickups, you may want to turn down the volume a little bit on the guitar itself so that you get a more pure tone on the input of the Axe. You can compensate by tweaking the input volume knob or adding a null filter with a level bost at the beginning of the signal chain.
Good luck!
