This is a question we hear often from our customers. As you might notice, most of our guitar amps feature a Limiter knob which is right next to the Gain. but what exactly does it do?
The Limiter goes in hand with the Gain on our amps. Ultimately, it governs how far into overdrive your Gain can go. This way, you can either set your amp to have moderate breakup, or long, but clean sustain.
For example, if you set your Gain up and set your Limiter all the way at 0, then you will get an overdriven tone. but, if you set your Limiter all the way to 10, you will get long sustain without going over into overdrive.
This picture from the manual of our Mach 3 demonstrates this:
