Overview

Black Rooster Audio‘s guitar amp head emulation meticulously modeled after a very versatile, yet uniquely sounding low wattage amplifier the Black Rooster Audio Cypress TT-15 comes to you at an unbeatable price point: It‘s free! With its no-nonsense approach and only six intuitive controls, the Cypress TT-15 will help to get the job done right away, no matter if you‘re looking for clean through crunchy guitar tones or if you want to achieve biting, distorted lead sounds. We also included a simple 2x12 cabinet simulation that can be bypassed if you prefer other solutions or if you‘re feeding into an external power amp/cabinet stage.

Features

Authentic circuit emulation

Our real time SPICE type component based circuit simulation approach allows to authentically capture the sound and feel of the analog counterpart in all nuances. Every crucial part of the head, including pre- and power amp tube stages, the tone filter and the output transformer have been faithfully modeled and matched.

SSE2 optimized code

DSP operations are pipelined using the SSE2 instruction set. This ensures highest possible performance operation despite very complex computations.

Auto-adjusted oversampling for maximum audio transparency

Aliasing artifacts are efficiently attenuated using a low latency linear phase Dolph-Chebyshev poly-phase design. The oversampling is auto-adjusted to your session‘s sample rate to save valuable CPU power while offering the most transparent sound possible.

HighDPI / Retina support

All our plug-Ins support high pixel density on Mac OSX and Windows to bring you the most enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays. Please refer to your manual to find whether your DAW is HighDPI capable if you‘re working on Windows.

Cypress TT-15 - Good juju! by Cliff Ziarno (2025-10-09)

"Love the Black Rooster plugs. Very simple and sound really good. Having a bunch of knobs doesn't mean value. Well done..."

Cypress TT-15 by JC S (2025-10-09)

"It only has a few knobs and options but I find this amp to be a perfect platform for carving your sound. The sonic flexibility around it is made possible by the fact that the Cypress TT-15 is very easy to work with if you want to integrate it into a more complex signal chain. It has the tonal caracteristics of the amps it is modeled after. As far as I'm concerned, it is the closest a plugin has been to sounding like my Orange Dark Terror. A delight really."

Rock on! by Steve C (2025-10-09)

"Minimal tweaking needed to get you rocking with this one. Just a good clean distortion(?) that takes you back to the days of cranking it up down the basement."

"It has one of the highest plug [&] play and versatility factor out there. Capable of creating cool vintage tones without adjusting many parameters. Add you favorite third party IR's and you're ready to cover a lot of ground including bass guitars!!"
