I love to distort sub basses with this, simply dial back the mix and have an awesome distorted bass, usually works great with sine waves!
Excellent and unique!!

As a Neold plugin, it holds a spot in my heart!! It's not as amazing as the Neold compressors but still, it's a unique and very useful tool to have. I particularly like the "emphasis" button, it can be a lifesaver for a lot of tracks. And of course, it adds this warmth that we all love!!
Big Al

Outstanding. Possibly one of the most underrated plugins.
YOU CAN LITERALLY PUT THIS ON EVERYTHING
★★★★★
by Buck Down
this may be one of the best steals on this entire site. My studio template now has this on EVERY channel. Simply put, it breathes 3 dimensional life into anything you try it on. A real workhorse of a plug perfect for solving flat, chilly digital captures. At its current sale price of 90% off, it’s almost irresponsible to walk past it.
Aliasing?
★★★★☆

Love this to bits but surprised there's no oversampling option followed by a Nyquist filter... hope they add that in a next update so there's no aliasing.
My new go-to saturator
★★★★★
by Thetamusic
This plugin is pure magic. At first I thought: "Another Saturator? I already have so many." But then I tested the plugin and was overwhelmed from the first second. The sound is soooo beautiful, warm and harmonious. This is my new go-to saturator - especially for vocals.
You Can Call Me Al...

Concise review? NEOLD's Big Al sounds magically delicious. The demo cuts don't do it justice; you have to try it on your own mixes to fully appreciate how it affects audio. That being said, it really shines as a cumulative, summing effect, though, individually, it can do everything from "warm" tracks up, or bring out transients without adding any harshness, to bludgeoning your audio into a driven mess of analog goodness. 6/5 Stars

a fantastic tool. it makes an analog sound. it sounds fanastic in the main mix. the fuzz region sounds very natural and i use to make a guitar sound crunchy. better than some fuzz machines.
This is it

This is my go to saturator, because it can do anything. Very easy to use, very good sound. I like Phil's Cascade for synth and flutes and mellotron and also the other NEOLD plug in too, but my go to spice warhammer is BIG AL. On drums, bass, guitars. Quick, easy, great sound, move on. Be careful not to overdo it. Easy layout. If you need a saturator, check this one out. And that is that. End of search.
Beautiful Destruction

I'm using this on nasty synth basses and it's mangling them in a lovely way without destroying your ears. Having the voltage sag enabled adds some fun variation too. Easily a new go to favourite saturation plugin for me, well done Neold and PA!
