Quick question. If I'm connecting my pedals directly to my amp, do i use instrument or speaker cables?

Instrument

you can save the world with your guitar one love song at a time it's just better, more fun, easier with a fender solid body electric guitar or electric bass guitar.

Anything that is before the power amp (in the signal chain) is instrument. Anything after the power amp, like to the speaker cabinet, is speaker.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
