So I figured I would just make sure my recording input level was correct, and gain stage at the end, and this seems to work best for me in keeping as much of the inherent coolness of the preset. I used to get in there and dial in the gain stages between the plugins and it would usually end up destroying the tone. Many times a guitar preset in LPX will have several plugins that make up that sound, and often times the final output level of these plugins might leave you with a signal level thats too hot for mixing purposes, even if you recorded with the proper level. I agree with you that putting a Gain plugin first somehow affects all the tonal qualities and goodness of the preset.
