"Shake proof" plastic washers are garbage and prone to having the entire switch coming lose as you cannot tighten them properly. Very few builders worth their salt use them. Dam and pigdog don't use them either
Andrew of Arcane Analog uses locking metal wasers as I suspect most other top builders do!
I can't wait!
Andrew tuned my mki and my mkii for that matter for a smooth decay as I'm not a fan of spluttery Fuzzes. Its still raucous though apparently ha!
I'll let you know when it arrives
Some would say you went nuts for it, personally I think you can never have too many fuzzboxes or dirtboxes.
So why aren't there any on the jacks in that pedal? Or any in this thread.

Each and every time the switch is engaged all of the lugs are switched as in following diagram. Regardless of where you solder your wires, these contacts are made each and every time the switch is engaged. Since you have offered your expertise, can you explain how a mechanical switch is more prone to failure or is less reliable due to flipping a few lugs around?

If any of the contacts fail, the switch fails. Given the diagram above on how a 3PDT works it does not matter which order they are in. .
All due respect sir, but your method is simply a personal preference. It is no more reliable.

If so, seems a pretty logical thing to do. Doesn't cost any more to do either, bar a few minutes extra soldering.
Actually, it could probably be a marketable thing for a builder!
