Understanding the FX8 hardware will help you use it to full effect (pun intended). Here's a guide.
THE TOP PANEL
The FX8 is housed in a powder-coated steel chassis with an aircraft aluminum bezel and end-caps.

OUT 1 CLIP – This LED is lit when the signal sent to Out [Pre] approaches clipping.
OUT 2 CLIP – This LED is lit when the signal sent to Output [Post] approaches clipping.
