It might affect where you hit the limiter, but if the levels are not too 
high you don't hit the limiter at all so it has no effect then.

same basic parts and circuit, but I think they are built with much better 
quality. The pots are probably better, although the older ones were often 
built with good pots as well. They have a new PCB that makes the noise 
floor slightly quieter, although in practice I think it is nearly 
impossible to hear that when the levels are set properly.
