I am gonna agree with this dude above me. Since you are already with the boogie power amp. You could slap in the tube rectifier pre but...

You can get those tones through micing a combo tube amp. Just go to the music store and play all of them until you find the sound. The amp does not have to be super powerful 30 watts should do ya.

Then take an SM57 into a nice mic pre like Greta River or Chandler, and move it around until you find the sound and then track the same part over and over for huge in your face sounds. Most heavy rythem parts nowadays are two three and four tracks and sometimes more.

I don't know what your room is like but loud aint always best. You may want to try hanging a blanket over a mic stand in T position a few feet in front of the cab to tighten up and get a less washed up sound.

Or get you a POD and plug it into a brick.
