soundmotor - I think you are mis reading the rules of the challenge. The only things that are changed or eliminated are those that alter the signal. For example - all crossovers, eq's, built in DSP etc. must be bypassed.
Think of it this way: Amp manufacturer 'A' claims their amplifier delivers buttery bass, and creamy highs. BUT this is achieved not through amplification but processing - why would it be fair to compare that amp to another amp that does not use any processing?
