When you say "Peaking" do you mean "clipping"? If its not clipping you might have a couple options. Besides using some compression (the Waves Renaissance Compressor might be a good option here), you could use the clip gain control, section off where the guitar is too loud, and use the clip gain on just that section to pull it back a bit. Another option is to use the Trim plugin to pull it back. You could automate it to pull back are just certain spots.



Good luck!
