Have the tubes come in yet? Any update?

Since I discovered that my marshall 2-button pedal doesn't work on my DC-5a combo, I've been doing some research on the channel, reverb and EQ pedals for the DC-5. From posts here and elsewhere I've gathered that the DC-5 (and some other Mesas) uses pedals that contain a specific resistor and...

How do you know the difference between "real" and reissued?

Thanks, but I couldn't find him. Is that the correct spelling of his name? Edit: Nevermind, I found him, thanks again

Do you know of any other differences besides the plastic rockers and led lights?

Hi all! First time poster here hoping to get some help. I found a DC-5 combo on craigslist in another state and the guy is willing to ship it to me. IT has plastic rocker switches which I've never seen before. Is this a different version from the metal switch version? What do you all...
