Converting an SPDT to a DPDT switch.

I have an MXR Loop selector and it's getting some signal bleed. I'm pretty confident that it's due to improper grounding. I think this could be fixed by switching the SPDT out for a DPDT. Anyone want to help walk me through how I would go about doing that?

I think you're talking about switching a DPDT for a 3PDT...and how are you expecting this to help your grounding issue?

No, I know what I said. It's an SPDT in there, and looking at it, I don't think it's grounded 100%. I think that switching out the SPDT for a DPDT would not only ground it properly but make it actually true bypass, thus eliminating the signal bleed. If you've got a better suggestion, I'm all ears.
