Hi I have just bought a 2nd hand Fender 185 Pro. It came with a 2 button switch which does turn the reverb on/off but doesn't change channels I am going to use it mostly clean but would like to be able to use the other channels. I am from the UK, and cant find any 185 specific 3 button switches, anyone any ideas if another 3 button switch will work , or any work around ideas. Thanks . Dave.

I had a Pro 185 back in the 1990s, never let me down, one of the best solid state amps I've owned.

A standard latching footswitch will not work on that amp though, you really do need the original footswitch unit or an equivalent like this ...

You could maybe contact Fender support, you never know what ancient spare parts they may find lying round in parts bins.

You are correct, it did come with a three button footswitch. I think this is the one you are looking for w/ the Fender P/N...
