    What he said.

    Try some EQ cuts around the 6K - 7K area. In fact try rolling off the high frequencies from 7k upwards. Maybe it'll clean up some of the fizz.

    Other than that, its hard to polish a turd! Next time your recording guitar, try capturing a DI signal at the same time so you can re-amp later.

    Not much you can really do to clean up excess fuzz. I suppose you could try re-recording it??
    When I record electric guitars with distortion/fuzz I usually set the amount of distortion to the amount that sounds good, then I back it off to 3/4's that amount. Always better to have too little distortion than too much.
    And also DI as well.
