ToneDexter captures about 100ms of time in the IR. If you close mike your instrument, you won't have much ambience in the IR. You'll be able to hear it in the phones, but it probably won't be noticeable in a live performance situation as the performance hall's natural acoustics will dominate the sound.
That's why we say it isn't critical that your create your WaveMaps (IRs) in acoustically treated spaces, for the most part. (Creating one in the bathroom may not be wise, however.)
As you adjust ToneDexter's character control from full Character 2 to Character 1 to Character 0, you dial out successively more of the ambience until at at Character 0 you are just left with a sophisticated many, many thousand band EQ representation of the sound of your instrument as heard by the mic during training.
For the sake of completeness, if the room ambience colors the sound significantly so that due to the room reflections, the tonality changes for the worse, then the IR will have that worsened tonality.
