I have a 1988 MK III. Yes. You hit the R2 footswitch to go from R1 to R2. When you are in R2 you then use the other footswitch to toggle between R2 and Lead channel.
You can switch between R-1 and lead or R-2 and lead? Right?
I know this should be simple. The reason I question it is because when I looked at pedals on the Mesa site the main foot pedal says R to lead and the R-2 pedal say R-1 to R-2.
Sorry for the stupid question. Its a dirty job but someone has to do it.
Actually - to confuse the situation a little, on Mark III, when you are in R2 and then hit the lead mode, you get a different tone than if you are in R1 and go into lead mode.
Overall, the pedals should be R (1 or 2) to Lead and R1 to R2.

This is a tough question. On some Mark III amps like a Red Stripe, it is easy to get a good clean sound and a good R2 sound. On a Green Stripe, I find this impossible. I can't get a good sound in both. Thus, with my Red Mark III I use the pedal all the time. When I play the Green, I don't use it at all.
