Do you mean to say that you listen to playback from Reaper using the amp/interface as your output device?

Looks like you're running Windows and using the method to connect to the interface where you have to tell it the number of ins/outs. When the device itself isn't an option in the device list. Sounds correct.

The recorded output? When you play it back like you mentioned above?

Well that would obviously change the sound. Adding fx.

Again, adding fx should be an obvious change.

Huh? Audio and MIDI machine code are pretty different things. Audio is audio. MIDI is control codes to run a MIDI sound module.

That would record your input post fader in the track in question. If you had any fx inserted in that track, the processed sound would be recorded instead of the raw input. Latency compensated per the calibration value in Preferences/Audio/Recording (The normal way of doing that. No lag issues and matching monitoring the input in real time.)

That suggests the headphone output is different than the direct output sent to the computer over the USB audio interface connection. You should investigate if there are any fx dialed up in the amp/interface for its headphone output that aren't included in the direct USB output.
