Yup, I still hurt from the day in 1991 when I went around the second-hand shops of Dublin looking for a distortion pedal for my new guitar and I was offered a 303 for £25 (the guy in the shop didn't know quite what it was), but I opted for a Boss Supradistortion instead.

umm, I got my TB303 a few years ago for the princely sum of NZ$60. The guy who I bought it off didn't need it anymore and there was a misprint in the ad (it was advertised as a DB303).
