The Maillard Reaction
When you get to the point where you are mixing the noisy, "high gain", squashed to death, square wave into a song you will probably find out that the track has to be balanced/buried down to a level where the noise is inconsequential. If the mix is so bare and uncluttered that the sound of the guitar is prominent enough for the noise to be an issue, you will probaby also notice that the "high gain', squashed to death, square wave guitar track sounds dull, limp, and lifeless. You may find that turning down the gain in the guitar patch enough for the noise to actually go away results in a more interesting and lively sounding tone that sounds great when a guitar track is balanced so as to seem prominent.

Having messed around a bit more I'm putting it down to my brass slide not being liked by my system!
I'll buy a glass one .

The first thing to do is get rid of the amp sim. Can you get a clean signal with the guitar, preamp, and RME Multiface II?

My Telecaster is very noisy in all amp sims, as soon as I dial in any kind of high gain tone. However, I have found that if I move my guitar around there will be one freak "sweet spot" that's comparatively quiet. A couple of nights ago it happened to be when I faced away from my DAW and tilted the guitar toward the floor. Not the most comfortable of playing positions 




The exact same thing happen(s) with my Tele... it's amazing the contortions I have to get into sometimes... Telesutra...
 
Best,
Rob
