Clipping circuits are also called slicers, amplitude selectors or limiters.

Clipping circuits.

Clipping circuits are used to select for purposes of transmission, that part of a signal wave form which lies above or below a certain reference voltage level.

Mr. S.Tamura, the designer of the Tube Screamer, used a subtle clipping circuit to create the pedal's sound.

A clipping circuit consists of linear elements like resistors and non-linear elements like junction diodes or transistors, but it does not contain energy-storage elements like capacitors.

He mixed the input signal with the output signal of the clipping circuit, to "preserve the original dynamics of the input signal which otherwise would get lost at the threshold of clipping."

Meanwhile, his estranged wife, Shelly (Natasha Richardson), operates a salon a few doors down with her girlfriend, Sandra (Rachel Griffiths), who was once Phil's top model on the international competitive clipping circuit.

These amps are a continuation of the JCM800 and 900 series, although the controversial diode clipping circuit used in the later 800 and 900 amps has been removed in favour of additional valve gain stages.

The receiver is instead equipped with a DC-coupled 'Video' output, and a front panel 'DC Zero' adjustment which relates to it. The 'Shaper Level' control adjusts a peak-level clipping circuit, which affects both the video and audio outputs.

In 1982, Tom Scholz, a graduate of MIT and a member of Boston, introduced the Rockman, which used JFET/BJT-based operational amplifiers and diode-based clipping circuits, but achieved a distorted sound adopted by many well known musicians.

Some operators may accept superimposed color signals slightly over 1 V.) After buffer and 1 V clipping circuits the signal is applied to the modulator where it modulates an intermediate frequency signal (which is different from the one used for aural signal.)
