How to get CD quality distorted guitar on Audacity?

I'm running Audacity v1.3.12 on Linux Mint. I'm trying to get a nice quality hard rock sound (i.e. Sevendust). I will record clean guitar, and then use hard clipping 8x oversampled plugin. It does well at adding enough gain, but it sounds like there is too much treble noise (I can't seem to fix this with EQ) after doing so, and ends up sound amature. This effect is not isolated to direct line in (which is what I'm doing). Any help?
