Two Heads. One Switch. No Compromise.
TYRANT is a high gain amp simulator with two amp voices on a single switch, a BOOST switch, a reorderable pedalboard, three cabinets and a full post-amp effects section. Start with the amp, pick the character you want, then build the rest of the sound around it.
SATN is precision and weight: a tight low end, a precise pick attack and dense saturation, built for articulate low-tuned riffs and heavy rhythm parts that need definition as much as girth.
TRSH is bite and aggression: percussive palm mutes, biting mids and fast-riff definition, for driving rhythm parts and leads that need a cutting edge.
The whole chain lives in one window. Plug in and it is already a rig.
Two Heads. One Plugin.
The AMP switch is not a bright cap or a voicing tweak. It is a second amplifier, inspired by a different high gain tube head, with its own grille and its own character.
- SATN, inspired by a modern high gain tube head: tight, precise and densely saturated.
- TRSH, inspired by an aggressive, thrash-voiced tube head: percussive, biting and fast.
- BOOST changes the drive character of either head. It is not a volume lift.
- Every knob, pedal, cab and effect stays put when you flick the switch, so you A/B two amps on the same riff.
TYRANT is an independent Oracle Sound product. The voice descriptions refer to tonal inspiration only and imply no affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from any amplifier manufacturer.
Four Pedals. Eight Voices. Any Order.
A drive in front of a high gain amp is not optional, so TYRANT ships with four. Each pedal carries a second voice on a small mode switch, so there are eight drive characters before you touch the amp, and you drag the pedals into whatever order you like.
SCREAM + SNARL
SCREAM is the green one. CLASSIC is the familiar mid-focused overdrive character; FOCUS is tighter and more forceful. Set DRIVE and TONE to the guitar, then use LEVEL to choose how hard it pushes the amp. SNARL covers both sides of the fence: YELLOW is the overdrive voice, ORANGE a brighter, more aggressive distortion, with DIST, TONE and LEVEL to shape it.
HYPER + CHAOS
HYPER is the nasty one. VERMIN is an aggressive distortion; SQUARE moves into octave-style fuzz. FUZZ, TONE and BURN find the texture and MIX blends it in. CHAOS is the extreme end: CHNSW is the chainsaw voice, CRUSH a different heavy distortion character, with LOW and HIGH to shape it and MIX to decide how much you want.
Reorder Them. Blend Them.
Drag the pedals into any order: an overdrive into a distortion feels very different from the same pair reversed. Every pedal has its own MIX for dry blend and its own footswitch, and the board is level-calibrated so you audition character, not volume. For tight rhythm, add SCREAM with low drive and a modest blend. For the extreme end, add a little CHAOS and move it before and after SCREAM to hear the attack change.
What You're Getting
A Whole Rig, Not A Plugin
Four pedals, two amps, BOOST, three cabs, IR loading, delay, five reverb types and a ten-band EQ, in one window. No chain of plugins to manage.
Tone In 60 Seconds
Pick a head, pick a cab, play. Over 50 factory presets from eight contributors are there if you would rather start from someone else’s sound, and every one recalls the whole chain.
Controls That Do Something
TIGHT, TAME, SHAPE and PRES are there because they move the sound somewhere you want to go, not to fill the panel. No menu diving.
Own It Forever
Try the full plugin free for 10 days. Buy it, activate once with your licence key and it is yours: no subscription, no iLok, no licence server, and the activated plugin works offline.
Every Knob Earns Its Place
TYRANT is built to get a finished tone fast. The front panel is one row, everything is visible at once, and each control moves the sound somewhere you would actually want to go. Set IN for a healthy signal, GAIN for drive, the tone controls for balance and OUT for the final level.
Gain Structure
IN, PRE, GAIN, BOOST, OUT
EQ
LOW (190 Hz shelf), MID (630 Hz), HIGH (850 Hz shelf)

Refinement
TAME, GATE
Amp + Cab
SATN / TRSH switch, BOOST, CAB A B C, LOAD IR, CAB OFF
PRE sets how hard the amp is hit after the pedals. GAIN sets how hard it bites. TIGHT trims low-end rumble and TAME rolls off fizz, both off at minimum. SHAPE narrows or broadens the mids, so judge it in context rather than as a volume knob.
