Set 'em up into different tracks on PT.

Get the levels kinda matched.

"Click" a single string mute -- high string, tight mute -- so you get a sharp waveform.

Zoom WAAAAY in on the waveform -- see where the waves hit or crest/trough differently? They should be somewhat different because they're different mics, but if the crests + troughs are consistently ahead/behind each other, move the "behind" mic forward (or the "ahead" mic back).

Repeat until the waves match.

Then put one of the pres out of phase & match volumes until they get close to nulling out -- there should be a major drop in level when you phase-out the mics.

Put 'em back in phase, and it should (hopefully) sound "like" the amp, or "good," or SOMETHING. If it's wack, strip it down and start over.

This is the way I do it, anyway.
