I set up a new pedal snake to use with my pedals and Mustang III.
I wrapped up six 20 foot guitar cables; hoping to use 2 of them for my 4 and 2 button footswitches with the Mustang....but they don't seem to work with the footswitches..

Do they DEMAND that I use a speaker cable?...because they use voltage?

I just bought a cheap snake cable (4 lines) to use for my 2 switches plus fx send - return... Works like a charm! :D

No problems whatsoever... I did buy some really cheap stuff (more out of curiosity), which I assumed would probably sound like $@!& in the fx loop and I have a second use for just in case, but it's actually pretty good (8 Euros !!!)...

So maybe you used a faulty cable, bad soldering, ...?

yep agreed, there must be something wrong with the cables, or maybe the wires are crossed, no reason it shouldn't work

I must have messed up which cable(s) I was putting in the inputs in the amp (while I was hurrying up to set up to jam with my band)....I got home..and slowly set things up..and things worked fine.

Thanks everyone.
