UwU Pedal

The Ground Control Audio UwU is an op-amp-based signal buffer with an integrated virtual pet and arcade game system. Its primary audio function is to preserve signal integrity across long cables and complex pedal chains, using a 1MΩ input impedance, 25Ω output impedance and 18V of internal headroom. An OLED screen displays a pixel-art virtual pet that responds to the instrument's signal level, earns experience points and progresses through 30 levels with unique animations. Two buttons provide access to mini-games, including Neko Invader, Fishy Blox and Longcat. A settings menu allows adjustment of screen brightness and input sensitivity, as well as resetting progress. A coin-cell battery preserves virtual pet progress when the pedal is powered off. The gaming features operate independently of the audio buffering function.
