Hello Glen,
I wouldnt worry about the ub802, it isnt neccesary for you to have
one. As I said, it is just something I already had, and I only use
it for the convenience of having a few controls next to me. As
opposed to getting off my fat behind and walking a few feet to
change the volume on the amp.
Daz.
