So, I want to add a diode switch to my Runt that's like the one on the Slow Loris. I want to at least be able to switch between stock diodes (1N914) and no diodes at all. I have a 2PDT so being able to switch between LED's too wouldn't be that bad (but LED's aren't a necessity). My question is- Can I make this work using a 2PDT On-On-On switch? If so, how do I wire the switch exactly? If not, how can I accomplish my goal?
On another note, if I just wanted to go no diodes (as in, no switch either), do I just put jumpers in place of the 1N914s?
I also have an SPDT On-On switch
In my head, I feel like it should look something like this, but no diodes instead of LEDs

DPDT On-Off-On wired like your diagram will give the options of LEDs or Silicon with no clipping in the middle.
SPST/SPDT On-On will work if you wire it like this diagram...

if you jumper them, it will just ground the signal! if you don't want diodes, just leave pads open.

OMG yes... this
