You will never get all of the benefits of a high quality preamp from a plugin.

The only thing you can do is use some static distortion/ EQ models to try and impart a little bit of the character. But, it isn't remotely the same thing.

It doesn't take into account all of the other benefits. The actual preamp you tracked with is responsible for the sound you have. So, if you use a M Box preamp, it will still sound like it was tracked with a crappy preamp. It's like putting a Mercedes paintjob on a Ford Focus. At the end of the day, you still have a Ford Focus (no offense to the MBox using Ford Focus driving members).
