Limiter vs. Clipper

...

Sorry, but i'm not gonna start making and uploading mp3 files, just to amuse you. If you were that interested, it would take you 5 minutes to download a couple of freebies and look for yourself.

Hello.
Some limiters for ex. Ableton native limiter has pretty large Pre Gain option.
If we strength the signal before may then limiter be equal to a clipper?

No, a clipper just bashes your sound together, a limiter has soft attack/release and possibly lookahead.
