A couple tricks I learned on my own and from searching, maybe can help you: 1) I just cannot reply on the plugin in alone. I also drop an EQ with a preamp feature on to the track. Some people use some type of compression plugin, but I use one of a couple from Tracks5. I forget the names now, but it doesn't matter. I find something with a gain control is best for me. 2) I often double track the guitar track. I usually pan one channel to about ten o'clock and then the other one at about 3 o'clock. And vise versa. I usually lower the volume on one of the cracks a bit so the sound leans in the direction I want it to go. 3) I drop a low pass filter on as well (Tracks Classic EQ works for me) to control the high end gain distortion. 4) Then it is matter of finding the sound and tone you personally want from the amp sim. That Satriani type sound I guess is from lots of gain.
That may not help 100% but I find that a couple of those items have helped me get a bigger sound that, to me, does not even sound much like an amp sim. Good luck.
