Sweet! I got like 1.5 of the timestamps right! LOL! 
I wish they had done a little longer version with more styles included, but I bet I still couldn't tell 98% of the time, ha ha!
Oh, and I was listening through my new Kali LP-6 V.2 monitors, for anyone who cares. Incredible monitors for the price, by the way!

Nailed it. I would hope that the IR created with that rig, sounds exactly like that rig being played. That's no different than the Kemper profile of my Road King sounding just like my Road King in the same room.
Well, it confirmed my suspicion. The IR and the direct recording were the same. I.E The mic and other settings were never changed once the IR was made. This is an obvious way to confirm that the IR is in fact doing its job.
So now that sound may never ever be able to be replicated again with the live rig. What I will say as a live sound engineer is that it is a great thing the same sound can never be replicated. It is captured ONCE and only ONCE. That moment is either the best it ever could be, or it was not. There are no redo's, no second takes, and no chance to fix it. It has to be right from the beginning. My biggest issue with studio recording was that I could always just go back and try again to do better. I was always in a constant fight with myself to keep perfecting things. When I went to live sound, I only got one chance to get it right and I could never go back to change the outcome I got. That was bliss for me, as there was no longer any torment about how I can make the past better, only that I need to do better in the future on my next gig!!! Turned into a career for me, so I guess I did something right!.

Quick question. can I do this test watching the video -or do I need to cover my eyes while watching and they give me generic identifiers or indications like Sample #1 Sample #2 etc

Ok, I listened to the video through a pair of expensive reference monitors but have not watched the reveal.
I think the real cab is first and switches around 1:54.
Reason, the paper sound rattling is audible in the begining but not later.... however the real conclusion in my mind is either is totally usable for a record.
Ok, going to listen to the reveal..***fingers crossed***

Most interesting, the IR gets that papery speaker texture nailed -which is super cool.

"Imma nail this, I know all of them dead giveaways"
Just breaking yer ballz, you're a stand up guy, I respect that a lot. You could've just said "oh I knew it right away, how can you not hear it its so obvious".

Thanks man, knowledge is power! I would say Im above average on A/B blind tests but not this time at all!

Nothing really wrong with the technology but when you do amp reviews on youtube with many different amps and every demo sounds the same i have a hard time taking that person seriously especially the guy in the first post.
To me every one of his demo's sound identical.
You should give viewers different options with different cabs and move some air.
I would never do the IR thing myself.

I fully agree with the youtube demos statement. I've learnt it the hard way. Bought into the hype of a certain pedal. Everybody was raving about it, every guy made it sound good, except for one guy. In his video the thing sounded.like sg I wouldn't be interested in. Not bad, just not my thing. So pulled the trigger thinking "everybody else cannot be wrong/lying".Turns out that guy was the only who didn't lie/made TONS of post adjustments to make it sound different than what it actually was.
If you get the chance, give the IR thing a go though.
