via this auction"This x0xb0x is an analog subtractive acid bassline synthesizer designed and engineered by ladyada of Adafruit Industries. It is modeled part-for-part after the legendary Roland TB-303.
"The TB-303 (named for "Transistor Bass") was originally marketed to guitarists for bass accompaniment while practicing alone. Production lasted approximately 18 months, resulting in only 10,000 units. It was not until the mid- to late-1980s that DJs and electronic musicians in Chicago found a use for the machine in the context of the newly developing house music genre. -- From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TB-303, retrieved 22 Aug 2009
The 303 remains to this day a popular instrument in many kinds of music from most forms of electronica to pop and alternative and many others as well as the genre it created: acid house. x0xb0x is considered by many to be the most authentic reproduction of the classic 303 sound because it contains the same analog circuits and parts as the original TB-303. The x0xb0x improves upon the 303 by being easier to use and offering a much wider range of features and capabilities.
That said, if you're viewing this auction, you probably already know about the x0xb0x and what it does so without further ado, let's discuss why you would want this x0xb0x. This particular x0x has been carefully constructed and modded by your truly, a self-professed geek with years of combined electronics training and experience using quality tools."
