TD-3-AM Yellow : If you love acid, get this. It is incredible

Of course, I would love to have a real 303. I did once, and my unit didn't sound as good as I wished. I learned years later the pots inside could be used to change max resonance, etc. I wish I'd kept it. I will always regret it.

Ok, so I dropped a $200 on this TD-3 with very low expectations. In fact, I was already using the ACB Roland 303, and thought it sounded great.

Now I have had a LOT of time with TD-3, mastered all of its quirks, and made a lot of recordings. This thing is amazing sounding. It is the best sounding 303 I have ever used and while I do wish it hadn't followed the 303's bizarre sequencer behavior, it is absolutely learnable and kind of fun once you get the hang of it. I couldn't be more enthusiastic about this device, and clearly for the price, you will definitely not do better. I love it so much I actually just ordered the MO version in the same acid yellow smiley face color.

Run, don't walk and buy yourself this iconic marvel.
