Ease of Use
:
9
Just as easy as the 575-A, four knobs: Manual, Speed, Regeneration, Width. Plug-and-play. Two little problems: the unit works in 18 volts, and the power in is a P-10 (!) jack.
Sound Quality
:
10
My setup is always changing, but now it's Boss RCL-10 -->DD6 -->Ibanez TS-9-->MU-TRON III -->Boss OD-1 --> DOD 575-A --> Morly PWB into an Mesa .50 Caliber +. Very good analog sound, can be strong if you want, but can be week, no noise, not great alteration on the volume. The best that i've tried, for my taste.
Reliability

10
I will depend on it, there's no option, and I think its very dificult to find another for backup:) Seems very, very solid, like all the good old stuff. Nothing lasts forever, iknow... but I have faith in the analog:)

Too old stuff, I hope it doesn't fail. I'm In Brazil, and here support is a bad joke.
Overall Rating

My band plays a Pixies/FooFighters kind of sound. I'm a stompbox freak, and I'm always testing things, I like the old and analog stuff, hate digital crap. I'm looking more of these "three numbers" series of DODs, if they're just good as this... (u can e-mail me if u don't want yours anymore). If I find another, I will buy, just to have a BKP:). The manual knob of this beauty is a crazy thing, you can do live changes in some frequency of the weird flanging sounds - could have an expression pedal for doing this, but I think the DOD 575-B is a great 10+
