I tried a 3rd party one through Amazon and it DID NOT work with my DSL40C.

I got a refund and replaced it with this one.

If you're willing to play around (and can solder) you can either add an LED or swap out the one in a pedal that doesn't work. What I see from the below video is that the LED works in conjunction with a resistor. With the right resistor, you can get it to work. With the wrong resistor the resistance will be too high and keep the pedal from working with your amp.

So you can do a whole mod for the Marshall pedal or you can swap resistors on the after market pedal to get a resistor that will work with your amp.
