Using your Fender Blockchain patch cables is a breeze. First, connect the 1/4 - inch straight connector to one pedal and the 1/4 - inch right - angle connector to another. This way, you can neatly arrange your pedals on the board. When setting up, make sure to keep the cables away from sharp objects to avoid damage. As for maintenance, just use a dry cloth to wipe the cables clean. Don't bend the cables too sharply, as this might affect the signal. Also, store them in a cool and dry place when not in use. With these simple steps, your patch cables will serve you well for a long time.
