Hi Tom,

I read the same- tube before the amp.

I asked a EE friend of mine about the operation of a std limiter, and he replied that it eliminates the signal peaks by acting as a variable gain stage. The low level signal recieves more gain and the high level signal less gain. This is often used where a mike is to loud and then to quiet as the singer moves about.
