What is this signal backwash?

I don't fully understand it, but it was explained to me by more than one knowledgable guitar tech.. Apperantly when a signal is abruptly cut or grounded, it may have the tendancy to quickly reverse direction. As I said, in passive systems, damage to your electronics would be very rare...but with powered electronics damage is more likely.

Thanks alot for the help, much appreciated! gonna start taking it apart today, lol.

Edit: ok i installed it like the picture above, mine has 2 attachments, not 3. however it works in reverse of what i want it to do. ie, there is no signal at all when the switch is up, and when you press it, there is. will i need a new switch or is there something i can do

because you got a normaly open switch.

you did get a normally closed circuit right??? for the switch. they make momentarys that are in a toggle too. and if you get the wrong kind it will work in the reverse of what you wish it to do.
