Here's my setup:

guitar (in this case, a stock Gibson Les Paul Standard)
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo head
in the loop: TC Electronic G-Force --> BBE Sonic Maximizer 362 (bypassed and for sale if anyone is interested)
Mesa Boogie Dual Rec 412 Oversized cab

My problem is that when I am playing the LP clean, the high strings don't sound right. They sound very "fake". It's like a synthetic "warbling" sound. I don't know exactly how to desribe it. When I play my Tele through the same setup, it sounds fine.
Anyone got any ideas about this? I have the effects loop bypassed on the amp so I don't think that has anything to do with it. I have to assume it is the guitar and not the amp since the tele sounds okay. Is that the way a clean LP just is? Maybe the LP would sound better clean if it were run through another amp like a Fender Twin Reverb?
 
I'd check your bridge, make sure the strings are seated good, and check that the strings are not touching the back of the saddle, if it is raise up you tail stop a bit. But WTF do I know????
 
Have you tried the guitar through another amp? Could be the guitars jack plate or circuitry if you can duplicate the problem. I have a Gibson flying V w/ a 500t in the bridge and the cleans are decent and that's a "hot" pick up.
