That's interesting - I feel like the Rectifier is fussy with load boxes too but I can get it close enough. I suspect it could be down to the NFB circuit (or lack of) of certain amps. I think its much like finding the right cabinet - you have to find something that pairs up nicely with the rest of your gear, and it may involve trying a few out to get there.I will definitely check out your comparisons later when I’m at my DAW.
I agree the Suhr sounds most accurate with (RAW/unprocessed) greenback loaded Marshall cab IR’s. And I really like those cabs with certain amps (particularly Marshalls and derivatives). I have a 1960 spec all birch 4x12 loaded with greenbacks so I’m familiar with what it should actually sound like with my various amps. However it seems some amps themselves just don’t interact right with the Suhr load even though they do with the real cab.
The Friedman and the JCM 800 I have now have all sounded good through the Suhr. The Boogie JP2C sounds decent. The Deliverance sounds all wrong
I don’t want anything inherently darker or “softer” sounding - or bassier as I perceive it, unless by being “bassier” the low end is more solid sounding and not strangely bloated.
