Hello
I've been building a crackle box with an astable 555 timer used as an LFO. the circuit works fine with the built in speaker and with headphones plugged in, but when I hook it up to an amp I hear a quiet version of the crackle box when the 555s output is low. The output of the 555 is hooked up to the base of a transistor that then pulses the output of the crackle box. My question is what do i need to do to get a good line out signal with no leakage between LFO pulses?
This is my first (successful) build and my knowledge of electronics is very basic, so any suggestions are welcomed. i dont have a schematic but I could whip one up if need be.
Thanks!
