What Big Goat does
The plugin passes the signal through four cascaded amplifier stages, two of which are clipping stages, so the distortion builds up across the chain rather than from a single clipper. Independent Volume and Tone Sustain controls shape the output level and the sustain of the distorted signal, and a Pre Post effect gain control sets the gain before or after the effect. The developer describes the simulation as one of the greatest fuzzboxes ever made in the mid-70s, and presents it as an analog modeled vintage distortion. Big Goat is available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with a trial version offered.
Key features
- Independent volume and sustain. The Independent Volume and Tone Sustain controls adjust output level and the sustain of the distortion separately.
- Pre Post effect gain. A Pre Post control sets the effect gain before or after the distortion stage.
- Four-stage amplifier chain. The signal runs through four cascaded amplifier stages, two of them clipping stages.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. A working serial and a keygen are the strings most often typed alongside the plugin name.
