Yep, and I said *I* DON'T consider the speaker part of the "guitar
itself" or cables and pedals, that's all.

Why not? The amplifier is clipping, the speaker is breaking up, the cabinet
is deliberately designed to limit bandwidth. Not only that, the output of
the amp at high levels is looping back into the guitar pickups, causing
the system to ring. The amplifier/speaker is half the system and is likely
more a source of "tone" than the instrument itself.

You misunderstand, read my original post in full. The sound will
definitely depend on the speaker and everything else as you say. BUT *I*
wouldn't design a guitar amp around *ONE* guitar, and change the speaker
for a different guitar. Would you? So the actual guitar and pedals etc
is NOT something I'd take into account when designing a guitar
amp/speaker combo. (well I would for a bass guitar Vs 6 string of
course) But hey I'm sure there are some who might, can't think of any
commercial manufacturers that do though.
