All schematics on the web concerning the MXR Noisegate are wrong including the one from tonepad. Referring to version 2 from 2003 (which I have on my HD):

- Input cap is in reality 10n input resistor 10k.
- The 10µ electrolytic between the 22k and the FET is drawn in the wrong direction - plus should be on the Fet-side.
- Output cap is 10µ instead of 1µ.
- the capacitor before Q2 in parallel to the 100k is a 10n instead of a 1µ.

The source of the FET is connected to U/2 and the drain to the 10µ electrolytic
