NOTE: IRs created using this method will include any
tonal coloration imparted by the power amp. Cab-Lab
can remove this effect using a separate “Reference IR”
of just the power amp created using a speaker-level to
line-level DI, but if you have this DI-box at the time of
capture you might as well use “Mic + DI” (next page).
