A clone is a hardware that is made differently, with different parts and technology (SMD, OpAmp etc.) than older devices, but should sound similar. And sometimes does not sound so similar. The RE-303 ist something different, it is a replica. That means (with few exceptions) the original parts are used and also the mounting technology. In consequence there is no manual, because you can use the original manual. from the internet :)
Creating such a replica is done in handwork, because the electronic factories use more modern technology mostly. In result the device sounds like an original TB-303, I can notice the phasey trippy deepness in it, while clones are a bit shallow. But you don't have to maintain a decades old device and everything is still robust and durable.
This piece is as far as one can get to a real TB-303 because it also uses a replica of the CPU. Not all DinSync RE-303 replicas do this. (It is a sunflowr/recpu that is a replica of the CPU firmware with the same usage. More original than other choices, also in the quirks.).
The color is black and the LEDs are green, the housing is made of metal.
You can hear it in action in my tracks on Sound Cloud that were made from Dec 2019 (Pumping Alien). E.g. in "Acid Cops".
Age: December 2019.
Condition: Non smoking studio use only. I cannot see any difference from when I bought it from the manufacturer. Hand made in Germany by an experienced business owner who hand made many of these. Cleaned all surfaces (not that it would have been necessary). Power adapter is included. Will be shipped with lots of high quality damping material.
