To get your guitar recording to meld with backing tracks, two tools to use, no matter what plug ins are available.

EQ and compression, 

EQ, depending on the actual miking, aiming a trusty dynamic mike close to your amp can result in capturing a sweet taker, when done right, angle the mike if to much sizzle, elevate speaker away from hard floors, they can emphasize nasty reflections. However, close miking can bring out the bottom frequency to much, this will muddle up the mix. Using a high pass shelf (bass roll off) on your track will work wonders to help.

Compression takes a while to learn, but when applied right, the dynamics of your recorded track will meld much better with your project, the PC4K bus does well to start with.

Cakewalks concrete limiter I find very useful in taming a track, too
