Here is a quick clip of my Carvin Legacy. I pick softly then hard to show how this amp responds to dynamic picking. No post processing was done other than adding a bit of reverb.

Sounds good so far. It has sort of a 70s vibe which I'm fond of. I really don't have a problem with the guitar being a little off as it fits the song just fine. The extra chorus vocal parts will help quite a bit.

Your recording quality and musicianship sound fantastic as usual. My beef is mainly with the vocals. The music and the vocals don't really seem to fit together. Some of the vocal phrasing sounds stretched out as if you needed more lines. Maybe a different vocal melody would make it sound more...

^^^This^^^ We are old and we know stuff.:D You can trust what Bob and I have been telling you, or you can keep contacting Weber until they become annoyed.

They probably assume that most people will use a 16 ohm cab so when/if they bypass the attenuator the impedance will remain matched.

Because the attenuator is an L-Pad which creates a constant 16 ohm load. Just Google L-Pad and start reading and it will make more sense to you.

They probably figured that most people that are trying to tame a 100 watt amp will be using a 4x12 cab and have their amp set to 16 ohms already. Also the excess wattage absorbed by the resistors turns to heat. Having the multi ohms option would require more resistors leaving less internal space...

Yep! The amp will only see the 16 ohm dummy load and not the cabs.

An L pad is a configuration of resistors that controls volume while maintaining a constant load impedance on the output of the amplifier. It consists of a parallel and series resistor in an "L" configuration. As one increases in resistance, the other decreases, which maintains a constant impedance.

Words to live by. That pretty much sums up what home recording is all about.

I'm also a lefty but I play the guitar right handed.

In a confined space the sound waves can't diffuse like they would in a large room. The sound is instead reflected off of every surface and bounced back into the mic resulting in a really shitty tone. Even if you use sound absorbing material to dampen the reflections it will still sound unnatural.

Then you won't be happy with the tone that you'll get from an iso cab. The results that you are getting from the Cabclone are far superior to the strange, boxy tone that you'll get from an iso cab.

The problem is that you are mixing like a guitar player [guitars are too loud]. Get the bass and drums sounding beefy first then slowly bring up the guitars to the proper level.

Just get a set of these. https://reverb.com/item/73710-seymour-duncan-st59-1b-little-59-for-tele-and-stk-t1n-vintage-stack-neck-pickup-set?_aid=pla&pla=1&gclid=CPWMg5K5i8UCFRABaQodo4QAzA

It must have taken a long time to whittle that with your pocket knife. :D

I used to run a stereo rack rig with a Marshall 4x12 split into 2 sides and it sounded killer.

You don't necessarily need 16 ohm speakers. If you wire the two 8 ohm speakers in series they will be 16 ohms.

Batting won't make it sound any better. The "stiffener" should be screwed on to another piece of wood that is screwed to the front baffle boards. No you don't need to separate the cab to run stereo. As long as the speaker efficiencies are not drastically different it will not be a problem.
