Popped my Tone Virus, drilled a case for it, made a faceplate, totally got stoked.... Then realized my dpdt is on-off-on not on-on-on.. D'OH

So I went through the stages of part drawer grief, I think we have all been there a few times.

- I looked through everything at least a dozen times
- I blamed my bad ordering, and promised I'd do better next time (I won't though)
- looked at every store close to me to see if I could get one fast.. nope
- played some loud, fast guitar
- I stared at a diagram and tried to figure out if I could somehow wire the on-off-on one to work
- played some fuzzy drone guitar
- I thought, well what functionality would I loose anyway
- I got bummed; played some more guitar.. this time it was bluesy
- I found another stash of parts! and there it was(!)... another on-off-on switch D'OH again
- I just accepted my fate and that it would be a while before I could get those sweet, sweet PLL tones.


Then I looked at a diagram and had an idea;

                       Could I wire two spdt on-on switches in the place of the dpdt and still have all the functionality?

I think so, but I wanted to check first.
