Amp sound vs. mic recorded sound

I found this today:

"Trouble is, most players want the PODxt to sound like what they hear from a guitar amp, and not the sound the mike "hears". This is generally much thinner and fizzier. As a simple experiment, compare the typical 45 degree off-axis sound most players listen to about 6 feet away, to the sound 3 inches away in front of the speaker."

This is the exact problem I was concluding the other day that I have. I know what a guitar amp should sound like but I try to achieve this as well when I record which of course is completely unrealistic.
