I think this is going somewhere - keep working on it!
I think the main problem I (and maybe you) have with 2a03 is the empty space created by it - it's rather hard to get the same "full" feeling as, say, VRC6, and because of this you have to strain the capabilities for that extra complexity.
I made some minor edits to show how I would add the extra strength - I've increased the amount of hi-hats in the drums, as that never hurts (i'd also add some open hi-hats, too), changed the triangle instrument a bit, so the appregio is 12 0 (it's a bit more complex) and added another echo to Pulse 2. I'd change Frame 1's Pulse 2 to add your counter melody or whatever, but I'm not sure how you plan to make this progress, so I'll leave that to you.
I like most of MrKyurem's changes, though I think if you're going to add echo on pulse 2 you should remove the echo notes in pulse 1 (which I thought sounded fine too, to be honest.) I would also recommend slightly detuning pulse 2 with P81/P7F to avoid frequency clashing if you decide to do that.
I love the variations you have in this short rhythm, and I find it very catchy. Hope you can write a good melody over it! Although, I think it also makes for a nice little loop with how it currently is.

Eh, I personally like the 2A03 chip the most. I enjoy working with VRC6, (I once worked with VRC7, I really didn't like it at all) but I feel that using expansion chips really takes away alot of the challenge and creativity in trying to make the hardware sound as good and full as possible. Try duty cycling, you can create some really unique sounds with that. Try putting some of Jeroen Tel's pieces through NSF import, and look at them step by step.
