I've certainly used it without any additional peak limiter, both with and without Soft Sat (and all those options for a compilation this week). As always, the source material, its density, & dynamic range, and prior gain staging, dictates.

Thanks Adam.
I agree with you on the fact that there are several configurations and depend on the source (Unfortunately for our money ).
