well...the filters are ratherdifferen. the fatman is a-12dB/Octave filter
htat doesn't quite oscillate at highest resonance, the 303 is a
-18dB/Octave filter that resonates nicely. So whatever you do with the 303
you probably can't do with the fatman. However, one trick that is done
with the 303 is to overdrive it at the mixer. That'll sound pretty crappy.
In the nice way.
