Mesa Express Foot Pedal

[bigdfrumtarn]

Hi, can anyone help please. I have a 2 year old 5:25 Express 1x12 combo, and the foot pedal has started clicking on and off. The other guitarist in my band has the exact same amp and this happened to his and he had to purchase a new cable, which was quite expensive. Does any one know of an alternative supply for these cables other than Mesa ? or is there a cheap repair that can be done ?
Thanks
Dave

I have bought many cables from here...

but, not for Mesa Express Footswitch....

You may want to check to see if this fix will help you first...

If that doesn't help, and you think that you need a new cable... I know that you need all 5-pins straight through + the connector shell must be connected from end-to-end as well.

Best-tronics have all 5 pins straight through, but, I'm not sure if the shell is connected on their cables....you should call or request that the Shell connection is continuous as well when you order.

Here's the schematic for the footswitch...
