Aphex Studio Dominator 700 - Clippers

3.7 Clippers
Most peak limiters incorporate a final clipper to catch any
amplitude overshoot that may escape the variable gain element
due to the short but finite attack time of the detector circuit.
A properly designed clipper has a virtually instantaneous action
to catch the briefest of transients. This "catch clipper"
usually has little work to do, and because it clips only brief
transients is inaudible in the circuit. Clipping is for
protection, and performs no audible gain reduction.
At this polnt, the reader should be well aware of the
differences between limiters and compressors, and how they might
be used.
