Most likely. As the contacts are not replaceable you need to find an
exact replacement and there lies the trouble.


Would any SPST switch with an adequate voltage/current rating suffice
(presuming it fits where the old one did)?


Aside from the detail of fitting in the same hole, absolutely yes. Do
ensure you get a type suitable for *mains* switching.

Another viewpoint: Just permanently connect the wires (and apply proper
insulation), and switch the amp on and off with a correctly rated switch in
the mains lead.
Or, maybe even better, leave the amp powered-on.

The hole of the original switch can be filled either with the now
non-functional switch, or a nice power-on indicator. Add some creativity
here ;-)
