This is the switch used for standby applications in most guitar/bass tube amps like yours, despite its voltage rating. For legal reasons, we don't offer technical advice as to why. Consult a qualified amp tech in your area for the details. 500VDC switches just aren't used in our industry (or would be considered EXTREMELY rare) in the standby position on tube amps for guitar/bass, including on your specific amp model.

Carling 110-63 Fender® style power and/or standby switch (SPST). This switch is a great replacement for older Fender® amps where the shorter toggle length (1/2”) is desired. 3A 250V, 6A 125V, AC/DC See alternate photo for dimensional drawing.
