Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. No he didn't... Today we are going to talk about the Bass Bot by Cyclone TT-303. Is this carbon copy of the original Roland TB-303 Bass Line the perfect acid synth. Is it still relevent with all the clones like the Behringer TD-3 around? Is the build quality a dealbreaker?

I worked in a music store in the late 80s and early 90s. We had a ton of the original TB-303s in stock, used, and cheap. Wish I had appreciated their use at that time :P

[@AudioPilz]

We need a time machine now;)

[@synthmaven]

They were blowing out 909s and other boxes at Rogue Music in NY, even the hallway was stacked. Stupidly I let the sales guy talk me into buying a 505 over the much cooler looking 909 ( had never heard one at that time ) because it "sounds like real drums".

[@scunnerdarkly4929]

I built my first X0XBox about a year before the Bass Bot was released. At the time the kit was the only way to get that authentic TB sound without selling a body organ and I probably put around 20 hours into painstakingly building it up. The cost of the kit plus my labour would probably come to around the same as buying one of these off the shelf. My ears can’t tell a difference between the two, not that KZbin audio is exactly master quality, but that and the 303 silver box looks made me wonder if the kit was worth it for the time spent building it. And the answer is hell yeah it was worth it, might not look as cool but this isn’t a fashion parade and mine’s built to OCD standards. As the X0X and original TB essentially share the same schematic there is something particularly cool you can do both. There’s an internal preset pot that acts as a linearity control, separate to the actual tuning and it’s supposed to be adjusted so an octave up is exactly twice the frequency of a particular note. If it’s not set absolutely correctly the desired notes become increasingly detuned the further away from the centre you get. And that my friends is a beautiful thing when you want to embark upon a wigged-out AFX-style acid head-f**k. Lovely.

[@AudioPilz]

Nice, always wanted to get a x0x!

[@SynGirl32]

Roland: "Alright, so you just enter your bassline here, and that'll be perfect for weddings and shows!" Ravers: *turn the resonance up* "Hey man, this is wack, let me get my acid." Roland: "No, that's not how you're supposed to play the game!"

There are never enough TB-303 clones and the Cyclone analog synth, which I had seen around the net, sounds mighty nice here. That said, Roland was indeed wise to update the TB-03 UI for an alternate to the traditional 303 workflow.

IIRC the x0xb0x I bought was from the guys who became Cyclone Analogic shortly after. It used transistors from the last 303s built and other components out of spec with the usual X0X builds of the day. Still sounds bloody nice and my best 303 hardware clone (I have many lol)

[@AudioPilz]

Nice one!

[@Yuzuki1337]

HONEY, QUICK! FLO IS TEARING APART THE 303!

[@petea]

I built my own X0Xb0x, and it's really good! I bought extra transistors and picked whichever ones sounded best in it. The manufacturing variability in transistors (basically, the BJT's gain-bandwidth product) probably does explain why different units seem to sound different.

[@AudioPilz]

I am amazed at how much bad gear you review that I own/have owned... -303 clones deserve a league/vote off of their own. For me the og Cyclone tt 303 sounds so good it makes me question the fabric of reality.

[@AudioPilz]

Reality is overrated anyway;)

[@DrJ3RK8]

LOVE that second jam! Also, the TT is great! I love the MkII form factor. The only other 303 device I'd go for is the Avalon, but since it's basically impossible to get one, the TT is the best.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!!

[@boriscat1999]

I have the whole set of MkII sardine tin shaped Cyclone Analogic machines. No need to pay DeckSavers $50 for a cover, they give you one and a perfectly sized case. My favorite is the TT-78 Beat Bot because it has some cool Latin flavor.

[@shaft9000]

Try the Future Retro 777 if you ever get the chance. It isn't a 303-clone so much as an outlier - a Godzilla synth that does acid it's own way. Incredibly flexible sequencing and sync abilities, too.

[@DrJ3RK8]

@@shaft9000 The 777 is GREAT!! I would agree with everything here. What I would say though, is that if you want THE 303 sound, there are better ways to get it. But, if you want something that works like one, with better interface, but has its own sound, then yes, the 777, some Elektron boxes, (with newer firmwares that have legato) and others would be top notch. I knew someone with a 777 in the early/mid 2000s, and it's definitely one of the cooler things of this nature.

[@maroon6315]

I need a folder full of the memes used in each episode, always such high quality!

[@AudioPilz]

[@shaft9000]

Ahhhh the Bad Acid test :) Nice one, Pilz. That 3rd jam was _gettin' thar._ Most of the clones, including this one and the B, sound as some variation on a x0xb0x which is open source(OS). Having myself an og, a FR 777, FR Revo mk2, two x0xb0xes, and dicking about with my m8s Behringer, the thing I hear in all the clones (besides FR - which is closer to a 101 sound) is clipping in the VCA very soon as the resonance and EG level rises. All of the OS-based clones in every test I've heard tend to clip too soon, more or less. They typically get the basic seq+synth behavior and filter character(an offset diode ladder) down well enough, but the audio path sounds quite different at times vs the og. It's totally a "last 1 - 5 %' concern that won't even matter in many mixes/arrangements, but it CAN matter sometimes, and will def matter to the mixing engineer: _The og TB-303 doesn't clip like the clones do, especially both x0xb0xs and the B. It sounds bigger, less noisy, smoother and 'lazier' - and it stays in tune over octave jumps better. _ Something about how Roland QC'ed their builds in the early '80s makes (a sometimes significant) difference in the sound _as an instrument_ vs how the x0xb0x variants and other clones built by whoever in the last 20 years behave and sound. So.....Is the og worth a $1-2K dollar difference? Well, THAT all depends on how much acid you make... and _what acid makes of YOU._ 🙂 Huzzah!

used to use a real 303 a lot, to drive a proper synth (moog rogue), & learned to program its song-mode (it gets easier if you write it all out on paper first, & enter the patterns with the sound turned down, otherwise it insists on playing you what's already in the location you're about to write to, which is infuriating). best trick was taking the batteries out for a few minutes & letting its mind get scrambled, then put the batteries back in & have fun editing the messed up random patterns it's now filled itself with.

The paper method really helps!

As someone with more than a few bad gear alumni in my studio I highly recommend trying to borrow a Sequential Prophet X from your friends at Klangfarbe, truly an amazing instrument that will fill up that wall of hate way too quick

Hahaha, that guy at the sunflower festival with his broken sunflower. 1997 Regensburg, never forgotten and lovely called the Schlammflower festival. Good old times 😂

love it. i got a future retro 777 many years ago and it is quite excellent for acid. can go way beyond a basic 303. but since i got the behringer td-3 i don't think i've turned it on once. turns out i just want that classic acid sound most of the time. i also borrowed a td-3-mo and that's pretty good too, but i think the non-modded one wins.

Yeah, Uli really changed the game
