X0XB0X Synthesizer

During june of 2008 i built a x0xb0x,these are the closest you can get to a TB303 without it actualy being a tb303,each component inside the case is the same as the original tb303 - This was my first play after building...
I was pleased with the result.

How many different colors did these things come in? This is like the fourth one I've seen that's different from all the rest.

@gridsleep Hi,its all down to you,they usualy have a black body and silver fascia,however the sky`s the limit to how you paint it,mine has a glow in the dark body and several layers of clear green paint on the fascia.,ive seen them with wooden bodies,metal bodies,clear bodies alsorts.

Hi,it took me around 6 nights work,sat on my bedroom floor,it was quite easy and the hardest thing is triple checking each step as you go and assemble,

it cost me around £250 to make but i imported parts from the usa and australia so paid import duty etc

Worth it all though in the end.

I really like the translucent green fascia. Is this easy to do?

[Maxopo]

you could just sit there all day playing with that thing by itself

this completely kills software like the audiorealism bassline, or the bee303, putting the resonance up a bit and moving through the filter is a great test, the xoxbox gets that "skreaming" cutting through the mix sound so close to the real thing. this, along with the future retro revolution, imho are the closest to the real thing that i have heard so far, thanks for the demo and sharing!

[brittloveschloe]

what did you use as a guide for the build?

[774434]

i could skate on that xox

How difficult was it to build this? I'm not much of an electronics guy but I can use a soldering iron.

@Dazbo10 Thanks ,
