Hi, if there are any electronics gurus who have the time to offer some advice I would greatly appreciate it.
I bought an Ibanez TSA5 amp (with built in Tube Screamer circuit) this weekend and while Ibanez does make a footswitch to activate the TS, it is not included and has to be bought separately.
I tested out a footswitch that I built to use as a tap-tempo for my delay and it seemed to work 100%. The only problem is it is non-latching. So I have no doubt that I could built another pedal with a latching switch to activate the TS circuit, my only question is -
is there any chance this could damage the amp? - it will be a very simple circuit with no LEDs or buffers, just the switch connected to a mono jack.

And here is the footswitch Ibanez makes for it (Not much detail unfortunately):
