just got a jb3, and need a sick a>d to record my band's soundboard shows....or do I?

your going to need to have a MOD done to use it with a JB3,  if you think you can do the MOD yourself,  (there is a thread somewhere that tell you how to do it) look for the cheepest place you can find one.

If you don't think you can do the MOD than I suggest buying it from Oade and having the MOD done.

Ditto.  The UA-5 digi-mod thread / instruction is in the Archival Info section.

thanks...saw the archived post....i don't  think i could do that MOD...would OADE do it?

[Swampy]

Yes. But you have to pay for it. Im not sure how much...

[DaryanLenz]

I'll do the mod for you if you find it cheap enough to satisfy your tastes.  The mod is 100 bucks from oade.   It is really easy to do!

The mod is 100 bucks from oade.

In addition, you have to buy the UA-5 from the Oade Bros - they won't mod units purchased elsewhere.

[Kindguy]

Oade modded mine. I'm much better with a credit card than a solidering iron

The mod isn't as easy as it looks. But for someone with experience it shouldn't be too hard.

thanks...with the MOD from Oade bros it's $500 ! ouch.

$500 covers both the digi-mod AND the preamp mod.  Just the digi-mod runs around $350, I think.  You can always add the preamp mod later when you put together the cash.

I may have a UA-5 I'm going to sell that I modded myself if someone wants it. Give me what I paid and it's yours..... You would have to buy the battery I just bought as well to go with it. $275 for all of it.
I bought it to run while I waited for a used V3 to pop up and I'm hoping to get in on Eren's. It hasn't even seen field use.

I believe units from OADE also keep their warrenty. Otherwise you void it (if you or someone else does it).

Warranty? At that price I buy a new one. They are disposable.
