You can also try this slight variation:
two different heads (or combos) with different cabs ( best if 1 x 12) fed by the same guitar and played at the same time instead of double tracked. Stick one bi-directional ribbon in front of each cab (inexpensive mics are fine too) . Possibly same make and model.
Cabs or combos need to to be off the floor (obviously and at least a good 80 cm.) and aligned. Put a gobo in between to separate them.
If you have chorus or a delay pedal (analogue would be nice) you could use that as a splitter as well an an extra widener.
You can then try different panning during mixing.
Space is mostly achieved during tracking (artificially like above or ina spacious room with careful positioning of sources and mics) as well as in mixing more than in post production.
