Many high-end presets utilize Stereo Tool’s clipper stages not just to limit volume, but to add harmonic saturation. This mimics the sound of expensive analog hardware, adding "warmth" and "sparkle" that makes digital audio feel more alive. An exclusive preset will often have a custom-built clipper setting that introduces pleasing distortion (saturation) while masking unpleasant digital artifacts.
