If you didn't read the thread , @joegold is using guitar cabs.i think we may have nailed what's going on here.
a mic picks up a single point on the speaker/cab. our ears hear an entire speaker/cab. that right there is a major difference. spatial qualities, tone, and many other things are different between those 2 things.
so "amp in the room" really just means "physics of sound." a single mic can't capture all of that, as noted and known, therefore that mic'd sound going through a speaker won't sound the same (algebra!).
so i started thinking about needing somewhat of a "surround sound" speaker setup to mimic this. perhaps a speaker in front and behind, and the one in the back maybe slightly delayed? we'd have to recreate a "live room" sound from sterile elements - we need to assume the room you're in is completely dead and the sound only comes from the speakers.
but that never is an issue to me, because the room i'm in when playing the mic/IR signal has it's own physical properties, and i truly feel "amp in the room" because i have sound interacting in that room.
but again, this is about a specific sensation coming from a real cab. the pick attack mentioned in this thread specifically could very well be coming from a combination of things heard from a guitar cab that a single mic very close doesn't pick up.
that's why the solution to hearing a real cab with the Axe or any modeler is to use a real cab with your modeler. the issue is that sound reproduction technology isn't there yet to full capture an output device like a guitar cab. some say far-field IRs get you close, but not exactly.
our ears are amazing things. our brain interprets things a certain way, and every person hears the same thing differently due to habit, preference, opinion and physicality/ability/experience. we simply can't model what the human ears pick up just yet.
Apparently he's already tried it.I'm not sure if you are talking about that low-frequency plucky thump in the recording. If you are, maybe you are looking for the low resonant frequency. In the amp block, there is a tab called Speaker. The knob i'm talking about is the first knob in axe-edit, Low Res Freq.
If I remember correctly, I've read of users tuning that parameter to specific IRs to replicate how a speaker cab reacts. Something about the spacial volume and build of a cab causes a specific peak in bass response. Apparently, every cab is different. Some IR manufacturers list the Resonant frequency. When they don't, users would sweep the low resonance frequency until they could hear and feel that thump show up. This focuses on the inherent low resonance of the IR, that would be brought out by the structure of the real-life cabinet resonating. I just tried that and I got a more thumpy transient from my pick attack on clean tones.
I understand that.If you didn't read the thread , @joegold is using guitar cabs.
Sorry, wasn't sure whether you were suggesting OP to use cabs or whether you were just musing on the thread topic.I understand that.
I don’t read anything.
Set your GT1000 knob to 1-2 o'clock and the amp will come aliveeeee
@joegold In the Amp block's Dynamics tab, set the Compressor to 100, Ratio to 2.000, Hardness to 100 and Time to 10.00 ms.
You mean the Preamp CF Compress parameters?
Or are you talking about Output Comp?
Probably the former and thyat's what I'll try first.
But please clarify.

OK. Tried it.
Almost blew my cab by setting Preamp CF Compress to 100%.
I assumed you meant Harndess at 10 because it doesn't go to 100.
The resulting tone does nothing to address the thing I'm talking about and basically ruins the preset.
But thanks anyway.
Why did you think that those particular parameters would be helpful?
At any rate, I'm pretty sure I stated up-thread that I've already tried all the Compression parameters (as well as all the dynamic and attack parameters) in the Amp Block to no avail.

Try setting the definition to -1.
