  I gave up on wiring it correctly from the picture.
  I would find the input...from the schematic, and connect the two points [switch lug and input wire or make an input wire if none is there], same for the output, follow the schematic.
  This requires schematic reading, component identification, DPDT switch understanding...
  Refer to schematic:
That said, IIRC the Rat's are DPDT true bypass with a bypass jumper across one end of the switch.
  It looks like the 'middle' lugs have wires, one probably goes to the input jack tip, the other to the output jack tip, with the switch connecting these lugs to the outside lugs assigned for in/out switching with the switch in 'on' mode, the tip of the input jack should have continuity with the board input, the output jack tip to the board output. With the switch in 'bypass' mode, the input jack tip, bypass jumper, output jack tip should have continuity.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
