Eleven rack right output is louder than left

The headphone output on the Eleven Rack mirror the main outputs so if you cannot hear a misbalance in the headphones that points to the analog output stage of the Eleven Rack or something after that.

If the inbalance is high you should also be able to measure that with a digital multimeter probing XLR outputs driven by a sine wave signal generator and confirm both the positive and negative side signals are mirrors of each other.... a common way of getting ~3dB loss on one side is to have one of a balanced pair broken/not working.

As for “sounding awful”, it’s impossible to guess what you are trying to do or exactly have set up. If you have solved the speaker balance issue then start simple with a guitar straight into the Eleven Rack and an amp sim in the rig only and monitoring via headphones or full range monitors are preferable to get started. Things will rarely sound great by just plugging a guitar into any amp sim, you have to spend time playing and learning.

If your Marshal has an FX loop you should start by going into that, and in all cases playing with gain staging is important.
