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.

Boss CS-3 Compressor / Madbean Oracle
Another great contribution by Chris Stelloh!
This is a layout drawn from the Madbean Oracle project, which is, essentially the Boss CS-3 compression sustainer. I really like the sound of VCA-driven compressors, especially on sampled drum sounds. This Boss pedal has been around for about 40 years, and the Madbean version makes a few slight modifications to it based on stuff people have done attempting to improve the sound quality and lower the noise. I included a list of part values that are most commonly swapped to make this more bass guitar friendly.
This one is verified and good to go.

Note that the electrolyctic caps have been oriented in the correct direction in the layout.
