I finally got working my modified TB303 after blowing the power supply last year in a mind slip.
It is completely unique and I guarantee no other TB303 will sound like this. I have only added a few knobs and switches but they are configured in a way that each affects the outcome of the others so there is an almost unlimited array of sounds that will come out.
It also uses the oscillator of the internal tempo clock to cross modulate the filter as well as create a ring modular effect of the single VCO. It has 3 CV inputs affecting different parts of the synth depending which switches and know are set.

This track is not an example of my playing skills but simply to hear what it can do. It gets crazier towards the end. The only sounds are the TB303 with a compressor to keep it a little in check and a TR808 kick drum.
The 303 still has some issues - I think the envelope has a problem and due to previous mods it has lost some of it's typical TB303 squeltch and the sequencer does not write gate steps correctly but I can kinda work around this.
So yeah probably the only circuit bent TB303 in existence! In it's original unmolested condition this little silver box is worth upwards of $2500 . Why did I do it? Because I love electronics and the abuse of electronics and sound design practices to create music and I am also an idiot.
P.S. yeah it does sound a little messed up
