Roland TB-03

CurrentReleased 2016

A Boutique recreation of the TB-303 Bass Line, modelled with Roland's ACB technology and laid out like the original, sequencer included. It adds overdrive and delay, a display, USB audio and CV/gate out. It suits acid and techno producers who want the 303's squelch and its pitch-and-time programming without hunting for a vintage unit.
