anybody get good results using vst amp sims?

Part of that'll be in your EQ. Don't get it too muddy!

Wow, I am kind of feeling alittle stupid right now. So I figured out the problem, I am using lecab v1, well, I never realized that my power was off on the impulse loader till about five minutes ago lol. Wow, did that make a difference. So, I am still wanting advice, on my tones though. I know you guys don't think emulating someones tone is gonna work, but I still want to try to get close. I want the note clarity that band Becoming the Archetype has, we play some pretty technical riffs, thats why I say that, lots of sweeps and taps. I want to know what sim that you guys suggest for that kind of sound, like I said before I have alot of them. I figured that probably going with the le456 with an engl impulse would probably get my desired sound. I think that is what amp they use anyway.

Well, one tip that really does go a long way for getting clarity is to actually not have a lot of gain.
And as has been mentioned, eq. Cut before you boost.
since you'll have to double track to sound anything like that you don't want to mud things up.
