Best quality midi cable?

[Iron1]

My guitar player was having issues with his footswitch and asked me to see if it had a loose connection inside.

Took it apart and it’s all good, but noted the midi cable it uses to connect to the amp doesn’t seat firmly in the pedal or the amp.

Pointed that out to him and he said it’s the third cable he’s had and all 3 did the same thing. He’s buying cheapo cables, so figured someone hear would have a rec for a better quality one that will sit in the port securely…

Is the MIDI DIN jack chassis or PCB mounted on the amp? PCB connections are sometimes recessed to the point where the cables don’t make a good connection.

FWIW, Amazon basic cable is pretty much what I have mostly in my studio.

It’s chassis mounted. The cable connector ends appear to be too small from what I can tell.

Thanks for the Amazon basics suggestion. Will try one of those.
