new to this forum I have a champion 100 and a 50xl I bought the 50xl used and bought a used footswitch for it. Dont have the cable for the footswitch. Fender customer service phone rep says they dont sell that cable none are currently on ebay or reverb. After doing some research I find out the cable is essentially speaker cable not shielded instrument cable at least I think but not sure. The footswitch apparently controls some kind of relay(not 100% sure) so there is no audio going thru it so I could use either type of cable. My champion 100 came with a footswitch and cable same switch and cable as the 50xl (I bought the 100 new about 6 years ago) and the cable looks like speaker cable basically because it looks like 2 wires each in a sheath and both connected together like lamp cable and one of the wires has white dash's on it. But being the cable has a molded 1/4"tip sleeve 2 conductor on each end no way to take apart and be sure. Does anyone know where I could find the fender cable or can say for sure its like speaker cable(I assume 16 gauge or possibly 14 gauge)> I used to repair consumer electronics for a living over 25 years, so i know a good part of the technicial. and no problem building a cord.
