I have been working on some music electronics, I got this on the web and I don't understand how the clipping circuit with germanium diode work.

The part in question is the enhancement mode MOSFET IRF510 with the 1N34 diode. It is a clipping circuit common in distortion box used in guitar effect. Normal it is just two back to back diode for clipping the signal. I would imagine just two back to back germanium diode will work. What is the MOSFET for, I don't even see how the two MOSFET are turn on!
Please explain.
Thanks
Alan
