Why does the basic 303 type sound sound so great, being just a monophonic, single-oscillator? Pitch-accents and programming aside, are the Virus filters just not fat enough?

In addition, what sort of distortion boxes (hardware or software) are good to use to get the above types of sounds?

All 3 of them samples are real TB303 BTW. Sounds like liberator crew and 303 lorry immersion. I have a 303 and I can tell you they are all 303's 100%. A lot of the magic of the 303 is in its internal sequencer and its slide accent.

There is a clone made by Analogue Solutions that uses the same electronic parts as the original 303 but I forget the name of it now. I was lent one by the guy at analog solutions when my 303 broke down, he's nice guy. We needed a replacement for a gig. It?s got the same sound as the 303 but without the sequencer. It's got more range on the filter as i remember hehe
