This is how I would recommend wiring a true-bypass DPDT:
If you wanted to also add an LED indicator and use a 3PDT switch, wire like so:

I have modded my TS-10 to TS-808 spec, and would like to add a "true bypass" switch. I am aware that the case won't fit the switch, but I can work around that, and if worse comes to worse, I'll recase it. What I am not sure of is how to wire the switch. I don't want to add an led indicator, so I believe all I need is a DPDT switch. I have looked at various tutorials, but I am still a little unclear about how it works. There are two wires (green, and orange) going to the stock switch on my TS-10. What are they in terms of the switch wiring?
Any help or input appreciated.

Thanks Voodoo, you da man. But one more question, of the green and orange wires that go to the original switch, which is the pcb in, and which is out?

Don't know--you'll have to look at the PCB component labeling and the traces. The input should quickly connect to the low number components--C1, R1, etc. The output should connect to the high numbers; on the TS-10 schematic I have, the last components before the output are resistors R21 and R22. You probably replaced these two as part of the TS808 conversion....
