Marshall footswitch compatibility.

Hi everyone.

I am in search of a footswitch that will work with my Marshall MA100H. For the life of me, I cannot seem to get a straight answer as to what model footswitch it uses. Would any two button footswitch work with this head?
 
Re: Marshall footswitch compatibility.

Marshalls are pretty good about being compatible with many different 2-button or 1-button footswitches (dependent on what amp needs, of course). When I had my Marshall head, I didn't get a footswitch when I bought it (used) so I made one with a Hoover vacuum cleaner switch, a 1/4" mono jack and a small enclosure. Even added a LED to it as the footswitch line fed a small amount of voltage enough to power the LED. Worked great. So, if you can't find the Marshall branded one, a generic 2-button like it will work fine.

I'm pretty sure I have a generic 2-button footswitch (no LEDs unfortunately) that I'd let go for cheap. Let me know if you're interested and I'll go dig it out.

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind!
