I was gonna say something like what kirk said... if you plug in direct with overdrive effects, you get a nasty sound. Your guitar amp is made to make those things sound good. Actually, the other way around - they're made to sound good through guitar amps. (oddball technical info omitted)
Yes, there are studio effects that can make a clean guitar sound like its overdriven through an amp. I personally don't have anything I really like in that department, but when I record my guitar, I use the amp simulator on my effects unit (Boss GT-6) because it sounds better than my real amp and I don't have to mess with microphones and getting the right sound... it's already set up in the amp simulator.
Probably what would be best for you would be to use a real amp and a microphone - a Shure SM-57 or 58 would work great. If you can't do that and nobody else has a software effect that sounds good, I can run your guitar part through my amp simulator and back into the computer. Sounds like the long way around, but it just might work!
