I can see that doing things like rolling off bass on the processed version might suddenly make more bass come through on the clean track etc etc..Cool tip must remember to try that more often. 
I think the key is, some of the Sans Amped frequencies may be close in phase to the original but others will be further out of phase and have a subtractive effect on tone..
Using eq on one or both of two combined signals with close but not exact phase coherant signals can be weird (in a good way), sometimes subtractive EQ of a certain totally unexpected frequency - can have a profound (and sometimes very cool) BOOSTING effect on another frequency of the combined signal output..  |
If it was IN phase it probably wouldn't sound very good to me. I've never compared on any meaningful level. Wack in on, does it sound cool? manipulate it, does it sound even cooler? yes? move on , no? move on.
