Pretty much a switch that mutes the signal when you press it, and unmutes it when you step off...
Would I really need anything besides the switch and the input/output jacks?
Momentary switch might be a little quicker than the latching type if you're intending to do this.
My son plays Bass and I mounted a normally closed momentary switch in his bass before going out of guitar to amp. He loves it! The faster you can click it, the faster it stutters.
Peace!

Yeah, that was my plan... something like this from radioshack..

Hmmm I remember using two SPDT switches, one momentary stompswitch and one toggle to change between NC and NO. So you had a stutter design that was versatile. Either no signal when not pressed, or no signal when stomped... really handy, I haven't made that yet due to an absence of momentary SPDT stompswitches in Holland ;)
wouldn't it be easier to handle a les paul like switch? i mean like the one that lets you select between treble and rhythm, instead of a button? so you can stutter a la tom morello :D

Check out the Variable Stuttering Pedal Article. that's the one i plan to make.
Thanks RG! :D

Did you do a search for previous discussions on that circuit?
I thought there were some unresolved problems with it (can't remember specifically what they were, tho). yes/no?

Yes and no. The series version is prone to clicking, as I thought it might be. The shunt version should be good - although, as I stated, I've not put the entire thing together, just fragments.

I tried that.. after seeing van halen do it.. I don't like doing that, though.. plus, I use both pckups a lot... and I don't to put any extra switches on my guitar...
