I designed that clipper (based on a circuit from Electronotes). All it
does is to clamp the output at +5V max. The clipper does not impact
anything else. Under some re-triggering conditions, the MOTM-800 output
can rise above 5V. This prevents that condition. The purpose is to
limit the maximum output to what a typical VCA considers to be unity gain.
