I just picked up an old Blues Deluxe amp (one of the American made ones) that comes with a 1 button foot switch - for channel switching. Later re-issue models have a 2 button switch that also controls reverb off/on. Is there an internal wiring difference or can I use a 2 button switch & control the reverb on my old amp? I am assuming not, but it would be nice if the answer was "yes".
thanks, guys.

IMO one of the two buttons may do the job. Just try

I can't find this "old" blues Deluxe schematic , any link ?

I just see the double foot switch schematic . One push button work with diodes forward wiring, the other push button work with diodes backward .

The single footswich may use one of both wiring IMO . That is why I think it may work

Anyway it will not hurt the amp to try .

There is only one pole to the footswitch jack and no connection to the reverb circuitry.
The reissue has a Jfet for switching the reverb circuit in and out
