1. you remove that hiss by recording louder - both louder on the amp, and louder into your daw
then adding gates along the various steps.
2. if i'm having hiss problems generally have a gate set low any time I record a guitar without DI in front, as in a boost pedal in front of an amp or amp sim
3. then a gate in the loop of whatever amp, set relatively low
4. then a gate on the channel strip of the track on the daw, generally scheps omni channel, if it's still noisy
This isn't some secret technique or anything - most of the time these steps aren't needed. This is just how I get rid of noise if it's there in tracks. Since you are recording clean guitar i'm guessing it's just a matter of improper gain staging and volume.

no, you're putting the cart before the horse. We need more information first.
First we need to know how you are recording.
Are you micing an amp? are you recording Direct in? Are you using a modeler?
What is your signal chain?

I'm a P90 fan and I've noticed how electronically noisy a lot of devices are in my home. Switching power supplies, digital interfaces, routers, smartphones, Bluetooth stuff, etc. The one I didn't expect to be the culprit was LED lightbulbs. Holy Schneikies, some of those are noisy.
Most electronic noise can be remedied by distance. If you don't need something on or plugged in for recording, unplug it. It doesn't help that a lot of recording interfaces give off a lot of noise.

Try a plugin called Acon Denoise, works great. Keep your guitar dry, add FX in post.

There are a lot of factors:
- professional studios have very clean electrical wiring. A lot of houses don't. That's the hardest one to overcome, if that's the problem.
-be aware of other devices in your home that can cause interference, especially wi-fi routers, cell phones and Bluetooth devices and turn them off, some appliances can cause it too
-if you have lights with dimmers, turn those off too
- use high quality cables on everything
-make sure your amp is in top shape, tubes etc
-if you are using any pedals, try to take them off and add effects on post with plug-ins
-try different amps or even a modeler or a DI box
-try different gain staging, for example turn the amp down and your interface gain up or vice-versa
-try different guitars and/or pickup positions
etc...
In short, there is not one answer to your question and it's not something that can be troubleshooted over the internet .You HAVE to experiment with a lot of variables and find out what works for you.
If nothing works, embrace it. Either leave it alone (a lot of iconic recordings, especially older ones have hiss in them) or find a musical way to mask it. A bed of synth strings under the part is a good way to make the guitar hiss "disappear".

micing an amp. just a delay pedal on . anyways i tried turning up the volumes and the hiss is worse. seems like it reduces it for dirty tones but not clean

okay, that's why we needed the information
it sounds like something in your rig or your room is causing the hiss and it's not going to be fixed by any recording stuff or gates
I would check out the above suggestions about LED lights, tv/computer screens, etc.
This is something that you are going to have to fix on your own

Not gonna lie, this is the first I've ever seen the word spelled out, "schneikies", and I'm not mad about. It even looks like it's spelled correctly.

I have hiss on my high gain amp with volume rolled back cleans. But on my clean amp, dead silet

You need to try and isolate where the hiss is coming from.
Walk around your room with your guitar on you, face away from monitors and get out from under lights etc... if you're using single coils, try something with humbuckers and see if it goes away, with multiple guitars and its still there, then its more than likely further down the chain.
Do you hear the hiss coming from the amp if you turn the amp up?
How high are you turning your line input in on your interface?
