For me, when stressed "all" is the same as "awl" (longer vowel, maybe with a
@-offglide); otherwise "all" unstressed or in a phrase (which it frequently
is, e.g. all of..., all the..., all my...) merely has a shorter vowel and
certainly no off-glide.
Identical:
--"I've lost my awl"
--"Wow, I ate it all!"
