It reduces the harmonics when the MOSFET clipping is selected.

do the MOSFETs produce noticeably more harmonics than the other clipping options?
also, with the gain pot also being in the feedback loop, C13 interacts with it and really only comes into play in the highest gain settings, correct?

That was my observation with this circuit.
It's not that simple since there are non-linear elements (MOSFETs Q1 & Q2) in parallel with C13 & GAIN pot. In general, the effect of C13 will be more pronounced when GAIN is turned up, but it also depends on the strength of the input signal.
