Carvin sells a dual footswitch for thier amps for about $20.00. This is
less than the price of just the two switches. I believe it can be taken
apart and modified. I'm going to get one for my Deluxe Reverb II and
modifiy it to suit my needs. You can't beat the price, and you may find
an ingenious use for the extra switch.

Any Fender dealer can get it for you (Mojo dealers stock 'em too).
You'll have to cut off the 1/4" plug and solder in a phono plug. It'll
cost around $35.
Alternately, Yamaha dealers have a one button footswitch for around $10.
It doesn't look like the Fender but if appearance isn't important (and
price is) you might prefer it.

Or, if you are solderifically challenged like myself, you can buy a
adaptor plug 1/4" female to RCA male (Hosa and others), and use ANY 1/4"
switch - I use an old Boss FS-2 w/ my Super Reverb - nice long cable and
wider spaced buttons- important if you are a bigfoot as I am.
