you are right, if you tweak my unit long enough you will find some
settings where it is possible to clip the chorus section. However, in
99% of my daily work settings it does not clip, so I do not care
about that too much. Even if it clips, I just reduce the output level
of the patches but enjoy a more cleaner effect in most cases.
I agree it is somehow fiddly to find the right trimmer settings, but
for me it was worth the effort. I believe the chorus/tremolo adds
quite some character to some sounds if used subtle and gives a nice
stereo effect.
