An "instrument" track is a MIDI based track for a virtual instrument, wrong thing to use here . You wanted an audio track, not an instrument track. You really need to open up the manual that came with the software and follow the instructions/tutorials, all this is covered there. The guitar input goes to that track and the amps-sim plugin on that track is used to process that dry guitar audio, you hear the wet guitar output from that plugin/track. Start by seeing if you can hear a dry guitar with no plugin on the track (it will be very quiet but will be there).

It might seem counterintuitive but Instrument Tracks are for Virtual Instruments. Believe me you are not the first one to assume they were for an instrument.

Yeah, maybe in future PT releases they could label them 'Virtual Instrument' tracks instead (for those who choose not to read the manual!)

How does "instrument track" make any other sense, than as what it is used now?
How should an instrument track for real instruments differ from a plain audio track? Do you expect some kind of "skill" button?

Even on Christmas, people should Read The Festive Manual or do a quick google search before asking questions like this.
