The choice is clear. As far as sound goes the xoxbox is basically a 303 in a different box. It has the sound. It has the magic. As much as I wanted to like the TT303 (it looks way cooler than a xoxbox) every sound example just didn't move me. If you listen to the clips on acid voice comparing the TT vs the TB, the TT just sounded nasal and unmusical to me. The magic wasn't there.

This is the truth. I have both (TB-303 and a TT-303) and the TT is very different from the TB-303 regarding the "wow" sound. I tried to match the setting by ear and never got something close to the TB's behaviour. The sound is (if this make sense) shorter and without punch. If you speed up the tempo it gets even worse...

TT and x0x side by side, the TT sounds more authentic, but the x0x goes further. x0x seems to sound best higher up imo.

Crap quality, but gives you an idea. Absolutely love it, and it's as close as any OG 303 I've used.

Quote: seems like a completely circuitous (geddit) argument. TT and x0x side by side, the TT sounds more authentic, but the x0x goes further. x0x seems to sound best higher up imo. if you put "TT and x0x" side by side, how can you say which sounds more authentic? more authentic to what? oh wait, i know what's going on you picture them side by side, right? one looks like a 303, the other one.. not so much the fact is, the synth circuit of the bassbot has modifications compared to the original, the x0xb0x synth circuit is closer to the original ...if that means anything Share Reply Quote 29th January 2017 #30 apolloturner Lives for gear Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 1,050 My Recordings/Credits My Studio 2 Reviews written 🎧 5 years My x0x had that quality to its sound. Actually a little too much, IMO. And although I liked it at first, it got real annoying.I think the thing about x0xbox is that depending on who built it,and what components are used, it can sound drastically different I do not recommend a mode machines x0x. My experience with mine was that they used wrong value components and put some in backwards. I own a TT303 MK1, and a Revolution. The Revo Accent goes about 25% beyond what any other 303 synth I have ever heard in terms of Overall length and Volume of the accent, so if that is the sound you like, I say get one if you can find one. I have read several people state that the TT303 MK2 does not sound like the MK1. At this point, I don't know if it is true or not. In terms of authentic sound, I don't really care all that much.
