I think the reason that everyone is talking about a midi solution is
specificaly for live situations - you plug in a midi footpedal and go. As I
explained, you don't need midi to do this trick - you can do it with the
regular EDP footpedal and an expression pedal, or even the front panel.
Still, it's still a trick - from the sound of it, the repeater is what you
need.

Speaking of Echoplex Footpedals, is there anyone interested in an echoplex
footpedal for, say $50? Let me know offlist.

I disagree. The repeater does it fine. I apologize - all us old farts on 
the
list got all excited about this fancy pants trick on the echoplex, when the
simple answer you needed to hear was: no - get a repeater. :> No 
mcguyvering
necessary.
