You won't have anymore pops and the dpdt has a much smoother action than a 3pdt. I fit it to any pedals I make as I can't stand 3pdt.

Fuzzdog will sell you a full kit to do it including switch or you can you buy the board and source the other bits yourself.

Tried clicking it a few times to remove static, but that doesn't help. Guess its just a noisy switch!
'Clicking to remove static' is one of the most pointless things to do. (Not saying you're suggesting it - it is a depressingly common piece of advice though.) At best it just temporarily reduces the problem, at worst it knackers the switch.
You need to fit pull-down resistors or better decoupling caps (or both) to the culprit piece of equipment, or if it's the amp then changing the V1 valve will often work.

If that is where they are already, it's possible that you need to upgrade the coupling caps (sometimes electrolytic) to non-electrolytic or if it's possible to get the same values, completely non-polar types.
Failing that, optical switching as mentioned by Adam_MD is probably the best option, or if all else fails/isn't practical, just run the whole lot via a Boss LS-2 Line Selector .

Re coupling caps. Check the ACTUAL polarity of the voltage on the capacitors. Many companies ASSUME the IC will have a small offset voltage positive of chassis? This is not always the case. The NE5532 for instance with be NEG of chassis.
