    Torres Engineering True Bypass Kit - worth it?

    I want to True Bypass my Crybaby Wah, and I was thinking of getting the Torres Engineering True Bypass Kit...

    http://www.torresengineering.com/trubypswitfo.html

    ...I figure with the Torres kit at least I'll be getting decent quality parts.

    Is it worth it? Or shall I just try it from scratch? Has anyone used one of these?
    My set-up:
    Warmoth Jazzmaster with SD '59(n) SD Duncan Custom(b) / Ric 330 / Fender Comp Mustang (CIJ) with SD lil' 59(b) & flush switches! / G&L Tribute S500 >> John Spina (Stratdeluxer) Modded Vox 847 Wah (SWEET!) >> Carl Martin Hot Drive n' Boost 2 >> EHX 'Shaved Muff' (Rehoused Big Muff) >> Orange Rockerverb 50 combo!

    Oh, and a Martin 000-15S!

    Gatherin' dust:
    Keeley TS9-DX Flexi, Tech 21 Sansamp GT2, Catalinbread SCOD, Boss Line Selector, RGW Bad Bob Boost

      Jesus - $30 for a DPDT switch!

      I picked up my Fulltone one for $18, and its a 3PDT so I can wire in an LED along with it!

        I know!! I didn't realise how easy it was to do, and how little you get for $30!!

          Pretty much nothing from Torres is "worth it," IMO.

            I have asked similar questions in the past and the answer is always that they are WAY over priced.
