I tried to make my own IRs. Whenever I compared the IR I captured to the amp / speaker recording it just did not sound the same. I drove me crazy!! I was aware that a load box can color the tone but never thought that much. The moment I used the "through" of the Suhr load box and connected the actual speaker - there it was - the same tone!
Can someone explain me why the Suhr Load colors the tone that much? I guess it has something to do with the impedance curve? I always thought that a load could color the tone but I never thought in such a "drastic" way...
Here are my recordings:

Does that mean that you can actually never really trust any IR promo vid cause it can sound quite different when you use it with your load? Or am I missing something here?
I used a Grossmann Iso Box with a 16Ohm Vintage 30 speaker and a SM57.
