You've missed a lot. Go look at it again:

http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/Echoplex_Manual.pdf
http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/echopedals.html
http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/FAQ.html
http://www.loopers-delight.com/tips/Plhints.html
http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/echoplex_reverse.html

http://www.electrixpro.com/topsecret/repeater.pdf

The two are oriented at completely different audiences and emphasize
different things. Each has far more depth than the other in the areas where
they are strong. Even the things that are similar work in completely
different ways.

I'd be happy to write it all out for you, but it is a lot and I don't have
time right now. It is not even really possible yet, since the repeater is
not even available and the manual for it is not very specific in many
areas. Some other day I will add repeater to the echoplex/jamman comparison
page on the LD site:

http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/Plex_Jamman.html

I guess I should add other loopers to that as well and make a big
comparison chart, with nice explanations of all the features and subtleties
of their operation. For now though, you will have to do your own research.
