Soundshed Guitar 1.6.0 [beta] is a major update with hundreds of improvements, please treat this as a beta initially. Backing up your previous app settings before applying this update is recommended but not essential.
https://guitar.soundshed.com/blog/release-1-6-0
It brings nine new effects, fifteen classic drive pedal models, gapless preset switching with ringing effect tails, signal-chain undo and A/B comparison, and a new Practice Tool.
Highlights
- Nine new effects: Wah, Tape Echo, Analog Delay, 3D Spatial, Ring Modulator, Harmonizer, Rotary, Vibe, and Guitar to MIDI.
- Fifteen classic overdrive, distortion, and fuzz pedal models, alongside substantial updates to amps, cabinets, reverbs, and pitch effects.
- Gapless preset switching with delay and reverb tails, plus signal-chain undo/redo and A/B comparison.
- A Practice Tool for slowing down and changing the key of backing tracks, looping sections, and saving practice projects.
- Expanded MIDI Learn, a rebuilt metronome, faster startup, and major audio-engine performance improvements.
- IR Cab now has alignment and IR response tools
- Many effects get a set of factory presets within the effect, and you can save your own
To backup before upgrading, take a copy of your data folder, this is because many settings are upgraded and migrated in this update. No issues are expected but it's good to be cautious with such a big update:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Soundshed Guitar
- Linux: .~/.config/Soundshed Guitar/
- macOS: the new version is not sandboxed so data will move from <your user>/Library/Soundshed Guitar to the system /Library/ path

New Blog Post: With MIKKO3, you can load and export your impulse responses. The plugin is available in both a free and a paid version.
New Amps:
Royal Knight MKIII: Based on the Tone King Royalist MKIII, imagine taking the characteristics of some of the most iconic amplifiers in history and putting them all into a single amp... that's what this amplifier is.
MCJ900 Modifire: Based on the JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, this is perhaps one of those amplifiers you either love or hate; there rarely seems to be any middle ground. To avoid this, we took the original amplifier and modified it for our MODFIRE series.

New Pedals
Blues Baker: Based on a 1993 Bluesbreaker, this iconic pedal aims to emulate the classic, warm tone of the Marshall Bluesbreaker amplifier.
DOC Germanium: Based on the Fulltone Custom Shop OCD Germanium, the DOC Ger differs from its siblings by using germanium diodes instead of MOSFETs.
