Any A/B pedal will work, but you may get more hum (due to a ground loop), some fancy A/B pedals avoid this with clever switching or isolation transformers. I have a basic A/B switch in the For Sale threads.

I see the DV has a ground lift button on the rear which should avoid the hum.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
