Aight, before you puke all over this thread take the time to answer my Q thanks :-)

I need a stereo analog peak limiter (nothing else) in this mastering chain: Gyratec X Vari Mu -> Custom SSL comp -> *Analog peak limiter* -> A bit of clipping the A/D

Basically I'm doing all the limiting at the A/D clipping stage right now (or just L3 in software, but I'm often preferring clipping).

Instead I'd like to have a high quality analog peak limiter so I can distribute the limiting duties to both the analog limiter and some to the A/D clipping, but avoiding the digital distortion at the A/D clipping stage.

So basically, what's the analog equivalent of the L2 (aka. what's the best analog limiter)?
