Cables question for splawn amd amd switcher

Post by theaps »

can anyone diagram or recommend a supplier of cables to switch my splawn quickrod with my vdlabs control switcher? my splawn came with 2 cables that go to its footswitch, they are quarter inch at the amp but mold into 1 midi looking plug that goes into the footswitch. I am wanting to use control switcher to change amp ch's etc and use my gcx switcher for all my pedals etc. thanks.

A pair of Insert Point Cables would work to control the Splawn Quickrod from a Control Switcher. The Stereo (TRS) ends will connect to the two amp footswitch jacks. The Mono (TS) ends will connect to the four 1/4" Control jacks on the Control Switcher.

I hope that helps!

Hey John, can you explain this a little more? Are you saying two TS - TRS cables?
Those aren’t easy to find lol.

An Insert Cable shouldn't be too hard to find from a dealer you like. This is a somewhat normal cable used with mixing boards. This cable is also sometimes called a Stereo Breakout Cable.

This cable looks like a Y-Cable but it has a single TRS end that splits out to two TS ends.

I hope that helps!

Hey John, i sort of follow you on this but my amp cable ends in 2 TRS cables, not TS.

It's a 5 pin to 2 TRS cables. I see the breakout cable you're talking about but they're all like you said (1)TRS to (2) TS
