i cant't get it to sound right tho. it sounds way too crunchy and overdriven if you know what i mean. i wanna have it sound clean like in the song posted below.
any recommendations?
i also read that i should use impulse responses. avid apparently gave the plug in convology XT away for free but all that does is make the guitar sound the same but with echo. am i using it wrong?

Things to consider:
1-you said you posted a song but no song is linked
2-The quality of the sound encompasses several things, hand tone, the guitar(style, condition, proper setup), player skill/talent(a wildcard
) and this is all before it gets to Pro Tools and the amp plugin.
3-Eleven Lite is REALLY limited and there are several amp sims you should check out, based on your needs(like Amplitube, Line 6 Helix software, Guitar Rig, etc). Watch videos on youtube as pretty much everything is demo'd and/or reviewed there.
4-Maybe you need to back off the recording level? In the world of digital, there is no longer the need to slam the input to get above the noise floor
5-Impulse responses are fine, but absolutely NOT required. What is required is whatever gets you to the sound you want(which we really don't know)
