Eric, you might try a "stereo" cable or in its proper name, a TRS cable
(looks like a guitar cable, but actully has 3 wires, not just two). It still
might not work. The Old TR used had 2 cables going to the back of the amp.
The re-issue has one TRS type of cable going into the back of the amp. Your
pedal might work or not with a TRS cable, but definitely won't with a
standard guitar cable. If all else fails, you can get a new TR pedal from a
guitar store or something.

Or, since the channels on a TR are out of phase to each other, prepare to be
underwhelmed...depending on the volume and tone settings on each channel,
sometimes the signals will add to each other, sometimes they will substract
from each other, creating a very hollow tone, which might be a cool effect,
but not very useful for playing.
The non-reverb amps can be patched with good results, since both of the
channels have the same number of gain stages, while in the reverb amps, the
second channel has one more gain stage. There is a trick to have reverb on
both channels (with an internal mod), and then you'll also be able to patch
them. I doubt you'd want to try that on a reissue TR with its PCB
construction.
I know this doesn't really help you, but at least you know a little more
about your amp now.
