Hey, first post so let me know if there's any house keeping i need to address.
I've been playing around with a LTV-847 optoisolator on the breadboard to see if i can get it to perform the task of effect pedal circuit bypass.
I've numbered the LED's just for clarity. So LED 1 is always on. When the cathode of LED 2 is grounded and cathodes of LEDs 3 & 4 are left floating signal goes from input jack to output jack and the effect is thus 'bypassed'.
With cathode of LED 2 left floating and cathodes of LEDs 3 & 4 are connected to ground signal goes from input, to fx input, to fx output, to output jack and the effect is 'on'.
What i'm after is a way of alternating the ground connections to LED 2 and LED 3 & 4 using a momentary spst switch. I've been looking into flip flops but can't figure a way of switching ground while leaving the other connections floating so i'm hoping to enlist the help of the hive mind
Hopefully my rambling made some sense
Thanks in advance
p.s - sorry for the long post!
