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.

yes - the lavry saturation has much color. but it's a color i know how to mix with and work against.
i'm a mixer, but have been forced to do mastering for indie clients to avoid having my stuff sent to the local buddy of the a&r guy to be butchered by an L2 on stun.
this is why i bought the lavry in the first place (having mastered with the folk in LA a bunch).
i've also found that getting mixes approved either requires L3, inflator, or a pseudo master print to get level. i learned this the hard way when working with New Order a few years ago (they had A&R folks on several continents). folks like nigel godrich use L2, but i just can't go there!
