Yeah - this is the one we've been waiting for.

Demoing it now. No ISP protection, I need to set the ceiling to -1.5 to prevent peaks from going any further than -0.3. Pumpy. Mushes transients and the high end. Same deal as the free W1 so for me only worth using on tracks/buses.
The input/output are amplifiers - the limiting is set to 0.0. You can enable oversampling and also the other advanced features. Yes, not a modern mastering limiter and not pretending to be one (either was L1, really).
It sounds pretty bad (not good), even at moderate gain reduction levels. Well, not surprising, considering that it's based on the obsolete L1 limiter of the late 1990s. Why would I use a bad sounding limiter, when I can use a free limiter like Kilohearts Limiter, that sounds significantly better for all basic limiting purposes? Not to mention dedicated mastering limiters like Tokyo Dawn Limiter 6.
Ever use a saturation or distortion plugin?

And if you don’t like how it sounds, leave it those who know better :-)

It doesn’t replace a clean limiter on the mix bus or whenever that’s needed. But that’s not always needed.
