First, welcome to the forum.

And yes, it's my experience too; all the amp sim I've tried seem to have this "smiley face" type of response curve, that's one where the lows and high's are hyped but have this big black hole in the midrange, which impart a kind of harshness to the sound. Great for heavy metal, not so great for bluesy kind of grunge. I always find myself trying to boost the mid, and shelves the highs.

I thought it was the guitar I was using, but, since I'm not the only one to observe this, maybe not.
