That should be plenty fast...

My guess is you'll need a combination of plugins.
But remember that an important part of the guitar equation is
the frequency / transient response of the speaker cabinet.
Tim Goetz has done some useful plugins for this kind of thing,
in his "Caps" plugin collection:

Maybe try something like:

input -> PreampIV -> Cabinet -> output
... hmm, i'm gonna go build it and try that myself :-)
