All frequent questions on switching: true or not true bypass, transistor-based or mechanical.

I've been thinking pedalboard where one can change signal order with somekind of switch panel.
Let's say we have 3 pedals in a board, board has mounted cables for pedals like:
pedal1 in, pedal1 out
pedal2 in, pedal2 out
pedal3 in, pedal3 out

then there this panel where you can choose where pedal1 output should go, something like this:
guitar signal goes to pedal1 in
pedal1 out goes to pedal 3 in
pedal3 out goes to pedal2 in
pedal2 out goes to amp

that way, one can layout pedals whatever order he/she wants without cables going all over the place
Any ideas how this can done in a "right way", maybe dips, relays, jacks?

With three loops you can swap the first two, then swap this lot with the third one.
You can do that mechanically with two of these : http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/Pe ... itcher.htm
Or modify relay-based A/B switches : https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2709
I only give negative feedback.
