Yes, if it has four screw terminals it's a 4 pole NL4 (and a knock off). You want a Neutrik NL2 type. https://cpc.farnell.com/neutrik/nl2fx/speakon-plug-2-pole/dp/AV24024

Instruments need to make music and it's the quality of the music that counts. (Please ignore the list of not-at-all-snobbish instruments in my sig... 😉 )

If you cover the labels with masking tape before applying the velcro you protect the labels. Also use some alcohol to degrease the pedals before sticking the velcro on.
