I also have to review this, after reading a not so favourable review. I disagree, but I respect that person's opinion... Personally, i think that it looks lovely. Now, for the sound, I dont know how a REAL TB-303 normally sounds, but i use this one very frequently because of its very pleasing(to me) sound. Also, i wouldnt describe it as a one-trick pony, because I used it for leads and not only for basses. The included mdrive effect is also very nice... Yeah, it has not presets, but so what, its not like its the most complex synth in the world!

And it never, even once, crashed on me...

Ok, the user interface may look bland at first but its so functional it makes up for it. And yes, after some time using it, I wouldnt change it for anything.
It simply sounds great, although as noted below it may be best for ''experimental' music and not, say, St. Etienne stuff. That's not to say that its not versatile, because it is. You can get sweet sounds out of it, you just have to try and not press the randomize function(which, again, is great).
Unfortunately, it doesnt come with a manual, but as I said, its so simple to use you dont need one.

I'd say, get this, its free and phat. But then, I'd say 'get this' even if it wasnt free.
