I am using eq, and DVC, though I am wondering if I need to then also enable the limiter. I have applied the appropriate amount of preamp (pregain), so clipping shouldn't be an issue. Should I enable the limiter as a clipping precaution or is it not needed?

Do you really need the limiter if you don't enable eq?

I tried to find out what exactly the limiter does and how it affects distortion. On my Samsung S7 with Oreo and build 823 ( high-res, sampling rate 44.1 kHz, wired headphones ) I chose a song ( mp3, 44.1 kHz ) with a significant amount of bass.Then I activated Tone and EQ and set the bass in both to maximum level, including the eq-preamp. I expected to hear distortions, which would then be diminished after I would have activated the limiter. I would try that both for DVC and non-DVC and didn't expect a difference there. Result : without DVC I heard distorted sound, limiter or no limiter didn't make a difference. With DVC I didn't hear distortions, again the limiter didn't make a difference. Question : Bug or Feature ? I'd say bug : the limiter should have prevented the distortions. That there were no distortions with DVC might be a feature of DVC - but then I'd expect the limiter button to be inactive.
