See this video by Spectre Sound Studios on it, may not be your style of music but it might help:

Spoiler alert: the trick appeared to be a mix of a Shure 57 and a Sennheiser 421 microphones recording the guitar sound produced by the Celestion T-75 speaker (known from Marchall amps). This producer of small starting out Metal bands also argues in many vids that the amplifier, guitar pick up element, etc. do not affect the sound that much: it's what actually producees the sound itself in the end that does: the speaker.
I never played (electric) guitar, let alone recorded it. But the guy from Spectre Sound Studio's makes sense to me. More so since he did a blind test of "clean" electric guitars through the same setup. Everybody got wrong which was the Gibson and which the Fender.
I just re-read your post. It's funny, one of my songs has a metal guitar line in it, and just tonight I tried switching the cabinet modeler I was using to what Vox (who makes the Tonelab) calls the UK T75... and it does sound possibly perfect for this song (of course, I say that every other week and then change my mind).
