Listen to the ProCo Rat. It's not for everyone but might be
something you like.

IMO true bypass can be an issue in some cases.
Maybe not if your just using one pedal, but once you
start lining up a series of devices it can start to change
the sound with some guitars.
The Rat uses a standard type electrical switch.
Even if the one you get isn't wired for true bypass
it's an easy mod to put in a DPDT switch.
