Of course you're right  ... in '50s or '60s of the last century.
However, we are talking Black Sabbath here. Now, try to remember when
was it last time you saw heavy metal band playing on the Stratocaster
plugged in directly into Mashall/Fender tube amp. Likelier, there will
be like 20-ish different gadgets in the signal path before it even
reaches the amp if it even goes there rather than directly into the
mixer. And  the real fun is just starting there. 

And it's not true that all music gets significantly processed. It would
be a cold day in hell before Mr. Karajan lets some sound engineer boost
and then clipp highs in his rendetion of Mozart's requiem :)

The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will
improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially.
