Roland TB-303 Modded with Green LEDs

images via this auction
"The extras/mods are:
- 32 Banks of Memory (never run out of space for your acid lines!)
- Lithium Battery (No need for batteries to hold the memory. Should last 10yrs. Can still operate on batteries for portable use)
- Bright Green LEDS (my pics are a little yellow... but these LEDs are truly green. Awesome eerie color...)
- NEW tact switches with dust guard
- NEW top pots for synth control... and NEW Volume pot
- Adjustments:
- better CV & tuning
- mod for lower battery voltage use
- top 6 knobs are raised slightly for easier use, and less chance for paint rubbing off
- Larger values on C20 and C21 for better Bass response --- sounds great!

Absolutely a great acid synth... with no worry for loosing your programmed bass lines...
Small rubber feet on bottom can be removed, if desired... but they protect the 303 nicely.

Auction includes:
- TB-303 modded by the 303 man himself, Robin Whittle.
- Boss/Roland ACA 120 adapter (USA use)"

  1. Nice, but if looking to save a few dollars, prob could get a plane one and have the mods done to it like they did.

  2. RE: Zamise...

    maybe... maybe not. A "plain" one just sold on ebay for $2200.00. So, if you add the upgrades to that one, it would cost you $3100.00.

  3. Thats about a thousand more than I'd probably pay for a plain one, wow if they are going for that much now, I can't argue with that, as far as I'm concerned the more they cost the better, and I guess if really wanted to save a few bucks there are plenty of other ways.
