does anyone know of any good plugins for making a DI guitar sound mic'd? is there any plugins that control stereo imaging? I just want to push the guitar back in my mix, it sounds way to up front. reverbs help on clean tone but sound like crap with heavy distortion. I live in an apartment building so Micing a cabinet is not an option.
thanks in advance

There's a couple enclosed cabinets with built-in mics available which are meant to be ok, but just ok. Whether this translates into comparable with, or better than, NI, I don't know, I have heard neither.
What about a mic'd cabinet but with a power soak?
Also the Mesa recording preamp has good press but I can't quite believe it can do it with no speakers....
I have heard good things about the NI, but have not used it myse
I have heard good things about the NI, but have not used it myself.
I personally use Amplitube and SimulAnalog Guitar Suite(free) and have gotten good results with both, but nothing really compares to a real amp with a real mic. The Mesa recording pre sounds good but is VERY limited in the sounds it can achieve. When I lived in an apartment, I found that by deadening my closet and investing in a small amp got the job done very well and from there I used the direct guitar tracks as back up tracks along with the recorded amp sound as the ‘main’ sound. Hope this helps… :)
