Often when I'm tracking, I get a lot of fizz from the tone I've got, almost over distorted. How do you guys get rid of this?

The pre gain is probably causing the distortion. The louder you get the speaker and amp, the less pre gain you need. So turn it up!

if you have a tube amp, if it is not biased correctly both power amp and preamp, you will get lots of fizz and low clarity, but poorly biased power amps will affect this the most. if it is biased you will want to achieve more power amp saturation and less preamp saturation. Also, don't judge the buzzing and fizz until your guitars are entirely in a full mix with bass drums and other instruments. what you would consider as fizz in your tone will actaully be the high end clarity and sizzle in a mix.
if you are in a mix and you notice that there is too much high or fizz, then you roll the highs (a low pass). 12K is the best place to start and then you move it around until you find your prefered sweet spot.

guitar cab right?? try another mic position. read the clayman thread, its all about getting only the desired amount of "fizz" in your guitar tone. off axis micing techniques really help minimize fizz.
hope this helps

Sounds like shit!
True story!
This is why I haven't been too satisfied with using impulses, you just can't get that loudass, highpower sound with them. Amps sound fucking awesome when the power tubes are about to melt!!!

So, if you don't mind me asking a question in this thread related to the OP, Genius Gone Insane said that gain from the head will compensate for gain from the preamp. My guitarist uses a transistor Laney head and speakers, but it still sounds frail without turning the on-board Line level from the mixer (mind you, it's a behringer). Could this be because it isn't a tube amp?

Yes, sorry I should have said this applies to tube amps more than solid state. The tubes add distortion the louder you get it. However, you still have the speaker breakup and volume which is much better at louder volumes and this applies to both solid state and tube amps IME.
