I recommend trying a re-amp box to get a little more out of the line level 303 to guitar level pedal. Now I have 2 of these L2A's and they are really nice: https://www.diyrecordingequipment.com/products/l2a These boxes have brought so much joy as any pedal can work its specific wonders on my synths. My distortion pedal changes its character dramatically with this thing.
