SE 20 Footswitch

[mw1958]

I bought an SE 20 Combo amp on ebay and the guy sent the wrong footswitch cable. I bought a new TRS stereo cable and the footswitch works for a few minutes then won't switch channels. is there something special about the original cable or do I have more serious problems?

I haven't had a problem like this with my SE amp... I think any stereo cable should work. Try to check it for a short or bad connection, but if it's not that you may have a problem in the amp or footswitch. You could also try a footswitch from another amp, any dual footswitch with a stereo jack should work (just to get an idea of where the problem is).
