For emulation, Audiorealism ABL3 is my best option. However, considering the price of the Behringer TD3-MO, I would also recommend getting that one as well for the added flavor.

The TD-3-MO differs from that TD-3 (SR/RD) by shipping with factory Devil Fish–style mods like sub-oscillator, longer slide, filter FM, distortion with a muffler/limiter, etc. but at that price it's a no-brainer.

Apparently, the MO sounds less like a 303 than the TD-3, even with the Devilfish options bypassed.

I heard that too, did see a video that showed the diff, can't find it now.

I like the TD-3-MO with black lettering on a black background. Its what all of us death metal people use.

Honestly, I’m really into metal mixed with other styles, so I’m curious to hear what that would sound like

It just sounds like a bass guitar, of course.

Except no low B.

Yeah, of course it does, as intended

btw, my take on this subject (compared to my post from 3 years ago) is a lot different now that we have Tonex and NAM. The Roland plugin running through the Elektron Heat NAM profile is spot-on.
