Yes, I found that the effects of non-linearities were greatest for the 
"zero resonance" case when I looked at the TB-303 filter in some detail. 
  When you turn up the resonance control the global negative feedback 
applied around the filter stages does a good job of linearising the 
filter.  So, it was actually easier to nail the high-resonance sound 
with a digital model than it was to nail the zero-resonance sound!
