The OUTPUT jack also doubles as a power switch.
Inserting a plug into the OUTPUT jack switches on the power; pull
out the plug to switch the power off. To avoid unnecessary depletion
of the battery, pull out the plug connected to the OUTPUT jack when
you’re not using the RC-2.
* Do not connect headphones to the OUTPUT jack. Doing so
may damage the headphones.
5. INPUT Jack
Connect your guitar, bass, or other instrument here.
* The input to AUX IN is muted whenever a cable is
connected to the INPUT jack.

you can connect two FS-5Us or an FS-6.
