I'm not sure I know what you mean by clipping.

Going from negative-to-positive makes no difference... that's what AC (i.e.,
signal) is all about, right?. And a lag module is a [typically 6 db/octave]
lowpass filter. So it would "round off" the tip of an input triangle in
either phase.

I may not have understood your question though.

The keyboard example of, say, going from "1v" to "10" by pressing low & high
keys is creating a fluctuating voltage, but of course, since it is always
positive it can be said to have a DC offset.

This makes me ask the question how does this affect the negative portion of
a wave? Seeing that a square wave would be -5 to +5, wouldn't running it
through the lag cause strange clipping effects?>
