First let me tell you that this pedal is almost 30 years old and this the blueprint of funky envelope filters. I also have an original Mutron lll+ reissue and the vintage pedal is more complex, wet , greasy , funky etc. Some reviewers say that the original is a bit noisier than the original, Not mine. I guess it depends on what the vintage pedal has been through.I play various Fender basses thru a Eden Highwayman rig. It sounds great in the guitar input but you can also run the effect wet/dry thru the effects loop. either way you still have great bottom end.
Reliability/Durability:
Like I said it is 30 years old and still funky working!
Ease of Use:
Let me start by saying this is a very interactive organic envelope filter, so you have to tweak the controls for the sounds that you like and the type of instrument that you play. The filter is touch sensitive to your playing dynamics, this is what makes it the ultimate FUNK Machine.

Overall Rating:
IF you want to have a great funky tone and alot of fun do yourself a favour and find yourself a vintage Mutron.
