There's a huge difference between micing a speaker and recording distortion straight off the pre (or whatever). An amp is always gonna sound more natural -- that may not be what you want.

Also, if you have Delay Compensation, try doing a distorted aux return and blending it with dry signal -- that is, if you're just using the distortion color a little.
