Runt diode switch help

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.
