I have found that bridging a 473k cap across the the switch terminals boasts borderline flawless performance. I am also fond of the performance of a spdt momentary that I experimented with as well. I may even prefer it!
After a lot of field testing, I prefer not to use the spst soft touch momentary for any tone loc dirt pedals (albeit smooth and silent ). Even with the capacitor, they are more prone to switch bounce. On the modulation pedals that I have tested (DE7, PH7, CF7), they work with high accuracy. Even without the capacitor. I also have very good results with them in DOD pedals.
The dirt pedals are much more sensitive. Bench testing with your fingertip, the button is much more unpredictable than it is with a confident stomp. with your finger, 1 out of 5 cycles would be erradic. With you foot, maybe one out of 30. While this still may be more dependable than the stock switch, I have been witnessing 100% accuracy with the spdt version thus far. Still using the .047u cap, and wired in "normally open" configuration.
