Honestly, skip the UD and go straight for the Joyo American Sound.
Trust us.
Trust us.
All this is making me GAS for the American, hard. No space for it, no need for it, but plenty of GAS for it!
Personally I've been thinking of acquiring both of them...

2 pedals for less than $60. Do it. I am LOVING the American. Sooooo good.
My only gripe with getting the american is that I have found no sound clips on bass with it online. Is it more of a lighter overdrive or a harder, borderline distortion like the UD?
It's $30 bucks man. I've gambled with more in my life.
Both, and plenty of in-between, plus with the addition of the mid and voice knobs, tone shaping is fantastic.
Theres a UD on ebay right now for 5.00 + 10.00 shipping, so if I win that auction tomorrow Imma get that, otherwise I'll make the decision between the UD and the American because they are both about 30.00 new.
I'd get them both now, but I am but a teenager and I have to spend my allowance wisely 
I feel you! I'm a broke adult musician who has to spend wisely! Otherwise I would already have both of them but I foolishly spend my money on food and bills! LolI'd get them both now, but I am but a teenager and I have to spend my allowance wisely
I'd get the American now, UD later if it were me. I did it the other way around and I have plenty of dirt so the UD was just another tool in the shed, the American I'm using more like an Always-on Preamp at the end of my chain. Sounds beautiful!
Just ordered an American, could be 2-3 weeks to get here, going to buy some kind of USB recording dealamajigger and MIGHT do an A/B with the American and the British i already have, if i can manage to not sound completely terrible for a couple minutes.
Don't hold your breath however

How do you get the front part off? And what did you do to scratch off the design? I've heard many different materials used, but yours has looked the coolest so far so I wanted so see what you usedMake it look cool.
You remove the knobs, then the nuts and washers off the pot posts. Then unscrew the screws from the bottom and the two in and output jacks in the sides. The bottom and electronics will slide ride out. And the foot switch as well. That is separate from the board inside.
As far as sanding or removing the paint, just a light grade sandpaper will do fine.
