STFU Optical Noise Gate

These two were a straight-forward build with no complications. Just followed the BOM, populated the PCB from 'lectricFX and all went well.

The STFU is a surprisingly simple circuit that does an excellent job at noise reduction, acting more like a soft-gate than a slam-it-shut gate. Built two of them and A/B's them to find they do indeed perform identically.

After drawing up the artwork, had the enclosures professionally printed and drilled by AmplifyFun.

And of course, gotta share the schematic.
