Making a cable for a footswitch

[mshuptar]

Hi everybody,

I'm building a two button footswitch to control the tremolo and reverb on my Vox AC15. I'm also building the cable as well. Can I use regular instrument cable with 1/4" TRS plugs? Or do I need some sort of different cable to connect the amp to the switch?

The TRS plug will be OK. You'll need a cable with "three wires", e.g. a "stereo cable", two signals and the shield/ground.
