I recently got a new element in a JT30, put together by Mr. Mic.. Dennis 
Oelling in Kansas City. It sounds great, but when I used it with my Blues Jr. last 
weekend, feedback got me. I could only get the amp to about 2 1/2 before it 
started to screech. I did all the usual things, as far as changing amp 
placement and changing where I stood in relation to PA speakers, but none of it helped 
a lot. The only thing I could think of was that I was in a hurry when I left 
home and I only had a really cheap cord. Will an inferior cord make that much 
difference? And are there any 'easy" suggestions about how to deal with 
feedback that I might not have tried?

Steve, 

I doubt that the cord will cause feedback, but I would assume a new element 
would. If the element put into the JT-30 was a CR or CM element that is what is 
making the amp feedback. I had a Shure 707A element a while back and I 
experimented with Crystal, Ceramic and CM elements in it and found that the worse 
overall element was the CM. It would feedback at the drop of a hat and tended to 
be way too distorted and nearly unworkable in most situations. I would say 
your new element is the reason for your feedback.
