Hello there, im taking an electronics course, but because im on vacation from school, i cant contact my teachers to help me with this one, so here goes:
I play guitar, and i like building effects pedals, so a few time ago i had an idea to do an electronic 555 based auto killswitch, basically, the 555 will send pulses that open and close a switch, my doubt is what to use as the switch. i first thought of a transistor, but the emitter has to be connected to ground, and i only want it either to let the input go to the output or open the switch and cut the signal.
I dont know if you understand what i mean, if you need help understanding the project, just say.
Thanks in Advance
