I have been using clean profiles for the most part so far and have found some great ones. But in going thru a few of the lead and distortion profiles I keep getting a lot of background noisy, high gain stuff that sounds icepick thin on my high e string when I do the following drill:

I am playing a '59 Gibson Les Paul Standard (R9) so it may be the pickups are too hot, I don't know. Anyway the sound is thin and when using legato barely audible. What I'm looking for is a clear fat distorted tone as in the video.
Any suggestions as to rigs or perhaps using a TS on top of a good clean profile? I've been trying everything I can find but can't get the tone I'm looking for. Basically I want to be able to hammer down on the high e and get a clear fat tone like pressing a key on a keyboard.
