Boss NF-1 Noise Gate
Another awesome contribution Chris Stelloh.
Another 1980's Boss pedal I use a lot, here's the modified layout for the original gray NF-1 Noise Gate, courtesy of Guitar Electronics DIY PCBs in PolanD: SCHEMATIC
I reversed the wiring for the decay pot, since it was working backwards from the original. The LM741 IC is being powered by a 1k resistor-limited supply, so I put the LED+ pad on that rail without any additional current limiting resistors, but if you need your status LED to be dimmer, you can add an extra cut at B23 and place a three column CLR from B22 to B24. As far as the trim pots go, I set the "RNG" to max and the "LVL" somewhere in the middle on my build.
