Sweet!

Hi Aaron - don't sweat the photo. One thing you want to pay close attention to when doing A-B comparisons: the amp and mic must be in the exact same place in every test - amp same place in your room, mic exact same place in front of amp - these things have a dramatic impact on how the recorded track sounds. Same amp & guitar settings would help, too.

Otherwise, you can't compare. Sure, your clips sound way different, but there are too many variables at play to make a worthwhile assessment.
