Stupid question: single-button footswitches

guitargeek62

I picked up a Mesa Express just before christmas, it's a great - supremely versatile and still sounds great at home/flat volumes so I'm pretty happy with it. 

The thing is, I don't turn reverb off, and I tend to leave the better contour switch on at all times so I noticed that the amp also has individual inputs for channel select, reverb on/off etc. Is there anything stopping me from using any old latching (?) 1-button footswitch in this? 

If not I'll put one together - I have some components from a pedal kit that went wrong so I'm guessing I could use those if the circuit is as simple as I'm expecting?! Ideally it'd be great if I could rig it up with a dual colour LED too to show the channel in use, but that's not the end of the world if I can't.

Cheers!

*edit* It currently has the usual 3-button switch with a DIN cable. It'll take up a lot more space than I need on a 'board though, hence the question.

Essentially I'm after this;

I'd be interested in if this can be done. I'm looking at adding a second amp but only want an amp with one footswitch button for two channels. Even better if I can use one switch for two amps.

If you mean, "you'd be interested in an Express", then go for it! I know for sure that the input on the back is for a single-button footswitch, but I'd just rather DIY one than pay the fairly OTT costs for a Mesa/aftermarket one.

I actually meant about doing this with any amp but now I know that Mesa Express does it.....hhmmm!
