A port does not "direct" air flow. Porting tunes the cabs internal volume (size) to a speakers requirements. In the old days of full and 3/4 bass reflex there was just a cutout in the soundboard. Extending the cutout behind the soundboard is porting and allows smaller cabinet size (with trade offs). It is all about loading a specific speaker to the air outside the cabinet at what frequency.

A few of the parts on some of those songs are clean. When the bass first kicks in on "nocturnal wings" it's clean but then not again for the rest of the song. There's also cleans on "a foothill..." Right when the bass first comes in (but it's chords so it may not be the best representation of clean) and also in the break in the middle. Again, might not be everyone's favorite tone but I like it for the genre that I'm playing.
