Connecting foot controller to Quadreverb

hello. This is probably a stupid question, but I hope someone can help. ?
i have just taken delivery of an old ART X11 foot controller to connect to my Quadreverb GT. I can't find my old Midi cables ( probably in a box in my junk heap of a garage). i do however have two Midi connectors that are both twin Midi 5 pin plugs to USB. i use them to connect keyboards to computers. Can I use the 'in" and "out " plugs on this as a way of connecting the ART to the Quadreverb, not using the USB plug?. i would think that the USB would have to be connected to a device for the signals to pass through, but I don't know. It would save me quite a bit of time and hassle if this could work. I could , of course, cut and join the two 5 pin plugs to make a lead, but that would destroy a perfectly good cable. Any opinion is welcome.
I don't know what the little "box" on the cable actually does on this lead, but it may allow Midi through to be possible.
