Or maybe it needs a stereo cable instead of a mono? I know that all the new fender amps use mono, but the older ones could be different.

The layout of the original Power Chorus footswitch was Channel, Reverb, Chorus, Boost.

I would suspect these four-button switches could very well be stereo to handle four functions. In turn, I would've also expected the chorus button to turn the reverb on and off though...if the chorus button isn't switching the reverb on and off, then the whole premise is gone in my head.

It sounds like this one is going to be hard to find, eh?

You might consider the option of taking the schematic for the amplifier (which, electronically, the footswitch is a part of the amplifier and so should be included on the schematic) and building your own footswitch using the housing of some other footswitch. At this point, that's probably what I would do.

Yeah, I was thinking that might be what it would come down to.

It just occured to me that there's two active threads about my Power Chorus right now! Anyways, I just got an email back from fender about the speakers, and I asked them about the footswitch, so we'll see what they say.
