Interesting little distortion box. I was just looking for something different so I decided to try this one out.

I have no idea what the original name means (PisdiYAUwot) or what UWotM8 means for that matter.

Either way this one reminds me of a modified Red Llama tweaked for higher gains. Almost has that feel. I only jammed on it in the effects loop of my Marshall Origin with my humbucker'd guitar. Sounded pretty dark for my liking. I pretty much had to max every knob to get a tone I thought sounded good. It's a little different circuit but just kind of average effect.

The art is inspired by the original pedal. Waterslide decal with flat clear coat. I wired the 2 eye LEDs in series. That part I thought came out really cool. I started using shielded I/O cables and it seems to help some of the noise and/or squealing that is natural for these kinds of high gain effects.
