What is the difference between the Busman and the other mods?
I don't get it.
There are different mods, the standard being just a basic "digi mod" which is exactly the same regardless of who performs the mod. It has no changes on the UA5's sound, it simply allows you to use the UA5 without a computer.
The "Busman" and "Oade" mods are names given to mods performed by either Chris ("Busman" on these boards) or Doug Oade (Oade Brothers Audio). These are mods that change the characteristics of the UA5's sound, i.e. "Warm Mod", "Transparent Mod", "Presence Mod".
I thought you could get these things to run off of a 9V...
How much do the wally batteries usually cost?
The Wal-Mart batteries are lithium 9v. New they're in the $60 to $70 range, but you can get them all day here in the YS or eBay for less than half that.
