I'm making a remote leg switch for my Session 500 (never had the original switch). Can someone tell me the cable length on the factory original?

Crazy long. On the order of 15'
Not in the mood to unwind it

Don't make it any shorter than 20 ft. Dave. When you play on a big stage one day, you may be that far from your amp! In big clubs like Wild Bills and Billy Bobs Ft. Worth I like it farther away! Just my 2 cents..

Thanks for the replies. The reverb connection is driven by a 1K ohm impedance, so I'll do a frequency sweep on the cable for that conductor with that impedance to be sure the bandwidth is still acceptable for a 20 ft. length. I just didn't want to make it shorter than the factory original.
