303 clone filter and VCO

I've not build one yet. But there are two main things (if i'm not wrong)
which makes the sound unique :
1. The SAW VCO doesn't really produce saw, but a spaced saw (with
a very littl space, but you hear it)
2.) Most important : the filter is built up by a moog ladder, BUT :
the transistors are NOT selected !!!! This makes it 18 dB, not 24.
This also leads to the phenomenon, that each TB303 sounds a bit
different. So, use unselected transistors, but change some of them
and hear, how it sounds.
I don't know if the VCA is linear or log.
