Thats what I thought, you said your were going to try it without the magnum in the chain which means your not gonna hear anything out of the cab. I quess its a tough question to answer since smooth and polished is very subjective. The tweaks you could make on the axe fx are pretty standard. Try turning down the preamp gain and increasing the master volume for more power amp saturation/compression, or just simply turn the comp setting up in the amp block. Try turning pick attack down, dynamic presence down ect..
I'm sorry if I was unclear - I meant that I'd try it with the power amp modelling on the axe turned off, not the magnum. The last part is great advice though, the 'standard tweaks' you mention are things I'm not familiar with, so I'll have a play with them
