Well, I did focus on the tuning/harmonics issue. I agree with you Johnny that playing technique problems mght be more glaring when amplified through clean, 'cooler' sounding amps than through warm, overdriven amps.
Tempo problems are covered up when the note is compressed and sustaining, also. I have heard players that could make you think that were fair players when they were playing through a distortion pedal. Punch the distortion off, and their playing is revealed to be sloppy, out-of-tempo....less than musical.
