Left channel is the headphone out of my Orange Terror Stamp, which is meant to simulate an Orange 4x12 cabinet.

Right channel is the same amp's speaker output into a 1x12 I built that's then close-mic'd with a Zoom H4n's builtin microphone.

They're certainly different sounds, but then they should be.

Cabinet Test 1

Left channel is the headphone out of my Orange Terror Stamp, which is meant to simulate an Orange 4x12 cabinet and be used for practice with headphones.

Right channel is the same amp's speaker output into a 1x12 I built and then I'm wearing in-ear microphones to record what I hear. The amp is at "don't annoy the neighbors" levels so you can hear some sounds of the strings directly as well as the amplified sound.

I think I will stick to playing through a speaker where possible.
