Board-mounted 3PDT's: any real life evidence against them?

... since the pcb helps dissipating exxesive heat when soldering ...

Would a copper wire soldered to an offboard switch not dissipate more heat than a PCB pad though?

well, the fiberglass also will dissipate some heat.
Of course, if someone very good soldering wires on the first try and clean with little solder , the off board solution is better..not my case though..

i´m allways insecure about good connection when solderig off board, so i tend to solder and re-flow, and also make mistakes that means unsoldering and resoldering, risking the 3pdt.

but again, it´s a matter of tastes and what fits your overall designs..

No apologies, Frank. I don't speak any other language well enough to try to participate in an internet forum in it. Kudos to you for being able to.

And actually, if I'd thought of it, I'd probably used exactly the same words!

Oh, it's because I received a pm today by a member who toughed that my "Sorrri fore maie bade Englishe" was aimed at laughing at people who speaks other language, when in fact I was laughing at myself... 

I am goin to change that for something more clear.

at the end, the best way to make switching reliable is using electronic switching. mechanic switching sucks on the reliability side.

Yep. The problem is then that non-technical musicians have been conditioned, Pavlov's-dog style, to salivate when they hear "true bypass... true bypass" whispered in their ear by boutique builders.
