I actually have more problems with poor intonation when playing distorted. I was merely discussing my issues with amps that "don't hide" anything in general.

As far as the original question, I think the imperfections are more likely a discussion on left hand technique, right hand slop/noise in picking, and pick dynamics, etc.

In most cases cleaner amps will let more of poor technique out of the speakers... whereas warmer or even overdriven amps will hide some aspects of playing. Intonation is obviosuly apparent regardless.

This is why I mentioned warmer amps - I was just trying to give $0.02 in response to a question ASKED.
