My two TS tips are color coded: red and white.

Should pedal 1 and pedal 2 have the same colors for input and output?
If the two pedals you are using are identical, then yes, the connections should match on both pedals.

I reversed the cabling for mine (opposite from one another) and they are now working... I can't explain why mine work in this fashion but they do... I am using Ernie Ball VOL Jrs for both pedals...

I'm good with you leaving it as is since it is working, but something isn't adding up here... I suspect your Insert Cables are not both wired/colored the same way.

Anyway, Right on!
