Real feedback from the community
"Every source I ran thru Goliath came out better. It's one of their best plugins. 100% worth buying it."
"This thing is immense. I had some strings that were too bland on a rock track — I selected an orchestral preset and wow! The tube setting just elevated the edge of the strings and made it sound incredible."
"Good o'l Goliath! I always loved that the presets (alloy, tube, tape, vinyl) had very obvious character differences… nothing subtle! All are very useful depending on the context. If V3 makes it even better, then game on!"
"The tape mode alone is worth the price. It warms up digital recordings in a way that feels completely natural. An essential tool in my mixing chain."
"Been using Goliath since V1 and this new version is on another level. The Multi Convolution engine is a game-changer — it sounds like real hardware."
"The vinyl mode adds that special magic to electronic music. It gives your tracks that warm, slightly compressed quality that makes them feel like a proper release."

4 Analog Saturation Models
Each mode uses our proprietary Multi Convolution & Component Modelling to deliver the real sound of the hardware
British 1081 Console
An analog processing chain featuring the famous British 1081 sound, with characteristics of its Nickel, Iron & Steel transformer. Clean, silky analog processing with that unmistakable high-end sheen. Perfect for adding console glue without coloring too much.
Valve Processing Chain
Modeled using a modern/classic valve processing chain with an AIR circuit. An immediately pleasing sound that brings 2nd order harmonics to your material — instantly warm, musical, and inviting. Works beautifully on vocals, guitars, and keys.
ATR-700 at 15ips
Captured using the ATR-700 Tape Recorder at 15ips for that classic tape warmth and natural compression. Transients get softened, 3rd order harmonic saturation fills in the gaps, and your recordings instantly feel like they were tracked through a reel-to-reel machine.
Neumann Vinyl Cutting Chain
Features an analog mastering chain routed through a Neumann vinyl cutting machine, with multiple IRs sampled from the actual dubplate. Finally get your record to sound like a real record — with that warm, lacquered analog presence only vinyl can deliver.
Drive, Mix & Output
Three powerful controls that put you fully in command of the analog chain. The Drive control pushes the selected saturation circuit from a light analog touch to full-on driven saturation — all without needing to compensate levels. Env-EQ Mix lets you run the compressor and EQ in parallel, blending the clean analog signal with the processed one for perfect balance. Output gives you precision control over the final signal.
- Drive: Push the analog chain from subtle warmth to full-on saturation
- Level Compensation: Drive more without chasing your output level
- Env-EQ Mix: Parallel blend of the ENV and EQ sections for precise control
- Output Control: -∞ to +10 dB final output gain adjustment
Envelope Section
A full 1176-style FET Compressor sits at the heart of the Envelope section, delivering fast, punchy compression inspired by the legendary hardware unit. Carefully chosen fixed ratios, attack, and release times make it universally applicable — from controlled vocal glue to aggressive drum smashing — without ever losing musicality.
- ON/OFF Switch: Engage or fully bypass the Envelope section
- Threshold: Set where the FET compressor kicks in
- Attack: Preprogrammed fast to slow attack modes
- Release: Preprogrammed fast to slow release modes
- Ratio: From 2:1 all the way to "All Buttons In" smashing ratio
EQ Section
A classic 3-Band EQ with a dedicated Low Cut Filter gives you surgical tone shaping right inside the plugin. All three bands are fixed at musically critical frequencies — sculpt your low end, push or pull the mids, and add that classic analog air to your highs. Clean, fast, and musical.
- ON/OFF Switch: Engage or bypass the EQ section independently
- Low Cut Filter: First order filter, 20 Hz – 60 Hz
- Low EQ: Peak filter at 65 Hz, ±10 dB
- Mid EQ: Peak filter at 1.5 kHz, ±10 dB
- High EQ: Peak filter at 15 kHz, ±10 dB for that analog air
