I'm confused :/

Is an 1176 really a limiter though?

It sorta can be at 20:1, but that all-button thing is just SOOOO bizarre that it's not really like compression at all...

More like an implosion or something.

It's rad whatever it is.

But when I think of "limiting" my mind goes towards that of the digital 'brick-wall' type. Something like an L2 or whatever similar plug-in or hardware tool that does that job.

That's a WHOLE other thing then an 1176 or "compression/limting"
