With Stockholm Syndrome, Pulsonix released their first Guitar Suite on beatforge.nl, which includes an amp modelled on the Peavey Studio Pro 40, 4 pedals, and a 4x12 cabinet with 15 IRs.
Stockholm Syndrome was released in early October 2026. Unfortunately, the beatforge.nl website doesn't offer any audio samples or videos to give you an idea of what the guitar amp sim sounds like. Unfortunately, there isn't much more information available there than what's listed below. The only option left is to try out the 14-day trial version, which I recommend doing before purchasing.
In addition to the 15 factory cabs, you can load your own impulse responses into the 2 IR slots.
The 4 pedals are distortion or overdrive pedals. Other effects, such as delay, chorus, reverb, flanger, or phaser, are not included with the plugin.
