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.
