Comparing IR loaders by recording the SV20H 4 ways (with no microphone)

Today, I experimented with recording the Marshall SV20H in different ways, without using a microphone and cabinet.
1st was the DI output. The other 3 were using the same IR (from York audio) loaded 3 different ways:
- Space Designer (in Logic)
- NadIR
- Tube Amp Expander

How did you connect the amp to Logic? Via the "DI Out" as well? Because it seems to me it does have some sort of cabinet emulation (though horrible), and you would then have the horrible cab emulation in front of the IR, which would make no sense to me and explain the rather weird sounds of the non-DI examples as well. Only the Tube Amp Expander was able to breathe some air into the sound. But that's cracking a nut with a sledgehammer considering the Boss unit is almost twice the price of the SV20. I'd be interested to hear results running the amp through a Two Notes Torpedo Cab M connected via the speaker out without the emulated DI sound imprinted into the signal.

The DI was from the Marshall straight into the interface, no tube amp expander. I really don’t know what it is, I would’ve thought just a raw signal that you had to put an IR on top of, except the manual says it’s an emulator.
Agree, I’d love to do a shoot out with various load boxes out there.
