Did you find the amp sound to be great while listening to the recording of it or playing in front of it full volume?
To emulate the latter while playing, you would have to do just that - blast the heck out of your monitors/headphones/cabinet and of course ears

I would build a song and then revisit the sound later when I have gathered new knowledge or make another song.
In fact this is how I go about it, otherwise because the search is endless you end up not making a tune at all.
I'm not sure if my sound is even better while soloed.
I made a couple of tests, trying to get a wet "'80-s" sound:
