Cut-Out Box

This is a super-simple thing to make but i like it:

1. choose a "box"-- a pringles can, a take-out container, etc.

2. take 2 input jacks (the things that you plug guitar cords into) and wire them together (so that the similar looking parts of each are connected with wire and solder.

3. solder an additional wire to the "hot" side of one and the "cold" (maybe-or maybe the ground?? [i dont know electronics very well])

4. when you touch these two wires together, it creates a "short" and the sound cuts out

5. you can contol the amount that a signal cuts out by how complete the contact is between the two wires--so play with the way that they touch to make different degrees of disturbance.

*this works well coming from an organ or any solid sound -breaking it apart and making it more unstable/more interesting

**you can also wire a "switch" or "button" between the two wires to create a solid and more controlled cut.
