Looking for a footswitch for one of these. What works best?

Having a hard time posting pics but here is the back panel lay out.

Far right back panel has a hole on top for rhythm boost and directly underneath it for lead boost. Next to the FX loop inputs is another stacked set of inputs. Top is channel and bottom is loop. In between these stacked inputs it says ftsw. I assume there is a footswitch made by somebody that has 4 cables (one for each of these inputs) that can control the whole thing.

For the MC I think all you need is a regular latching like a Marshall switch. Not the LED if I remember right. I think you can only switch channels regardless there are two jack holes. They both do the same thing. This is older ones. Not sure about a new one or more recent.

I was hoping a switch could engage the loop and boost functions etc and not just clean/dirty.

Yes, a non LED latching switch would do the channel thing. I would love to be able to step on a button and mess with the other stuff as well.

An old Mesa Boogie Single Button Channel switching pedal works on my Wizard to engage the loop, or do any of the other functions if I plug it into the appropriate Jack on the amp (Channel or Boost).

Can you post a pic of the rear of the amp so we can see. If you have two switch jacks on the rear, I believe you can only change channels. At least on the 2 MC1's I owned. But, mine did not have a loop.

I think you might be referring to the OP here.

Ok.
Sounds like an earlier MC11 before he switched to four inputs on the left back of amp. I had an MTL like this one. This is like yours. You need a four jack switch. Doc at Rockblock built me one for my amp. He's great. Be careful. There are scammers out there. If he wont build you one you can try Tito I think at Koolcat switches. I have one of his. I like Docs better though. Smaller footprint

Thank you! I will check it out. The reverb linked amp is very similar. Mine has a silver cap next to the bottom hole for the stacked boost section inputs so maybe at one time there were three holes there? Anyway, thanks again.

I have a Koolcat, works great with my Wizards.

What functions does your switch perform? How many buttons?
