    Panda's favorite sampler. "I've been using the Boss SP-303 almost exclusively (besides drums) for three years or so now. I think it's about time to move on, at least focus-wise. But it's been my favorite thing to use without a doubt." - Panda bear (Noah Lennox) for Pitchfork, February 15, 2007.

    Well worth the money

    This cheap sampler is really perfect for old-school Hip-Hop type beats. The bitcrusher gives some nice grittyness, the vinyl simulator is great too. The 26 effects are really where this unit shines. The built-in sequencer sucks, but at least it's there. I sequence using my MPC 2000XL, and the SP-303 compliments it very well.

    portable sampling hysteria

    perfect little sampler! effects are great and the sound is really good on this machine. only wish it that it had batteries. but then, you got the 404 aswell. the design of the 303 also is perfect!

    Best equipment investment I have made.

    It has it's faults (sequencer isn't particularly intuitive), but some of its limitations make for some kick ass creativity. I can spend hours and hours just playing on this thing.

    Only downside is that this has no battery power. I prefer the 404 over this.
