In my quest for tone I tweaked the the factory AC Top Boost profile to create a high-gain, but still touch sensitive rig.
In retrospect I might have added little too much top end / presence - making the legato stuff sound a little thin (for example at 00:18).
I use the duck paramater extensively in this rig (at -5.0) and I like the effect of it for picked notes, as it gives that high-gain breakup. But I think the problem might be that the legato stuff doesn't cut through the ducking "threshold" so to speak (and therefore does not get the same EQ and treble boost etc).
I think the sound works well for heavily picked notes though.
I am playing over a Steve Lukather / toto style backing track. Hope you like it.
edit - here is the rig:

(I recommend using it with neck single coil pickup)
