I own a GR-300, and have to say that it makes the "Roland saw wave". 
every Roland synth has the same tone to it's sawtooth wave,

a Wave Processor coupled with something like a Moogerfooger MF-101 
would give you 70 percent of the GR-300 sound ... an Eventide for pitch 
shift and vibrato would give you another 15 percent. the last 15 
percent is the mystical quality of the 300 itself. also, hex-fuzz is 
important.

i guess my bottom line is that i just don't think that the Wave 
Processor sawtooth is bad at all. and, that all Roland sawtooth waves 
sound the same.
