Would you work on a car's engine without learning a bit about it before you start? Bees don't have hooves.

You probably can’t hurt anything but there’s no guarantee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Paul, I'm not looking to work on an amplifier, I'm simply checking whether an off the shelf switching cable cable will work, and if not whether it'll do any damage to the amp in question, I think you've misread the posts 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This DIY cable is freely available - no cost, no postage cost (in UK) - to @Beedster, or whoever, to test the footswitch/DIN cable for correct connections to the M-Pulse 5-way socket Once the pin connections for the 4 switches relevant to the Mesa (with 5-way socket) have been confirned, a short 5-way to 7-way adaptor cable can be made to allow the later footswitch to be used with the earlier M-Pulse I have other projects of my own which i'm trying to complete, so first come, first served on this free offer!
