I've got a mate who's selling his Roland MC-505 Groovebox for £200. Do any of you have one. What do you think of it and is it capable of producing a realistic (and phat) 303 sound.
Would you buy one?

not as a 303 clone.

there are better alternatives in your price range, like the MAM MB33

Have two of them....can vouch for that.
if all you want is the 303, then check them out.

the mcdonalds 505 wouldnt be my first choice.

i've got a 505 and personally i wouldn't reccomend it, picked it up many years ago when i first got into production and to be honest i have not used it in years.

IF you want a 303 for that money I'd get a X0Xbox or a future retro revolution.

you won't get a convincing 505 out of it in years, it's okay to start with and can sound okay in the mix but that's about it.
hey cheggy
Just use ABL if you want a fat 303. That's the closest you'll get at less than what 505 costs.
