I find that the lavry saturation has quite a bit of color. with that said, I'm not sure how a limiter of any kind will do what your looking to do if it's going to be fed to the saturation of that ADC & boosted up to 6db. Why not use the saturation only(if the sound works for your track) & clip digitally when capturing. You can either capture at 24 bits than after put a limiter when dithering to control the final ceiling ,or do the above at 16 bits while capturing. this form of clipping is far greater transparent than any limiter...IMO.
