Youngest Son has it's smaller sibling (FM65 DSP - 1x12, 65 Watts) and it's a very useful little amp indeed. Clean channel sounds like, well, a clean Fender, modelling channel is much better than anything of its age and price has any business being. That one's missing the footswitch too so I shall be watching with some interest...
I couldn't live with the effects- not nearly enough tweakability for my liking, but considering my friend paid well under a ton for it, I'd say it was a great deal.

I don't think they sound bad at all - even the overdrive sounds - and they're astonishing value for money for something that loud and giggable. Not too heavy for the power either.
(Edit - not a standard footswitch.)

Unfortunately it's discontinued! But here's a shot of the schematic which may help:

This is annoying - Fender used to be very good for using a standardised footswitch system, but many of the recent models aren't the same, even when they appear to use the same technology.
Probably your best bet is to get someone to build one for you, but it won't be that cheap.

In some sort of bizarre "Good News, Bad News", my friend does have a non compatible Fender amp footswitch, labelled p/n 0050419000 (channel select and gain/more gain footswitches). Any chance it could be cannibalised?

This is the schematic -
(Notice the two functions are in parallel and reverse polarity, rather than in series and the same polarity.)

Listed as compatible with the FM65DSP and Super Champ XD but surely the big one's going to be the same isn't it?
Unscrupulous you reckon, or just dumb?

Really unscrupulous is amp companies selling *new* amps which require a footswitch for their full functionality and charge extra for them. Not sure if this applies to the Frontmans, but the more expensive Fender amps come with it included.
