Thanks for the help, so far I've messed around a little with that patch
technique, and it seems to sound brighter and more crisp when I do.
As for the pedal and cable I'm thinking that it wasn't actually used with
this amp, but just thrown in with it because it was there. This wouldn't
surprise me since they sent me a Fender Blues Deluxe Manual with it, i guess
that's what I get for going through eBay for a purchase like this. Thanks
again.
