As the description says, i've done a attenuator but im stuck on the wiring of cab simulators.
I've done two cab simulators and need to be able to switch between those but also have a bypass. No led's needed.
So what i need is to be able to use two diffrent circuits and also have a bypass using a 3-way dpdt switch, is this possible and how would i wire?

Are these "cab simulator" circuits in series with the signal or in parallel?

If series, the most obvious ways to achieve what your shooting for are impossible with any type of DPDT.  Careful perusal of the specific circuits may allow some smartypants to find a tricksie way to make it happen.

If parallel (like these are actually just cap-to-ground filters) it's pretty easy.

Yes, you can do it with 2 dpdt switches...
Doesn't matter what you did to get it... If it sounds good, then it is good!

Does it have to be a toggle switch?  You cannot do it simply, only elaborately.  However it would be very simple with a 2P3T rotary switch.
