I bought my first Repeater when they first came
out...(after months of delays!)
Years later I sold it. After that I had a
boomerang, then a DL-4, then an Echo Pro, then RC-20XL...still missed the
Repeater....
Bought my second repeater, then years later I sold
it again and ended up with the Boss RC-50 awhile. Sold the RC-50,
bought a Line-6 M13 (which I still use and absolutely love!) but of
course...still missed the repeater.
Then I bought my third repeater! Then
found another cheap one and went ahead and bought my fourth as well....what can
I say...I love the repeater.
So I have two at the moment, and for me at least, I
think that says it all, with all the looping devices I've used over the
years (all of them quite good in their own rite) but I just can't get away from
the Repeater. It's not perfect of course, but it's one of my favorites for
sure.
I'd say the only reason I ever sold the first two
repeaters I owned, was just due to how expensive they are....even after all
these years they still normally sell for more $ than they did brand
new 9 years ago!!!

Zoe
Keating from San Francisco here on the list is selling two at the
moment.
That says it all, doesn't it?

Er.. Nope.. people sell stuff all the time, it doesnt mean all of
us a on that constant battle for the latest and greatest... it is a never
ending journey and one that I have given up trying to win.
Zoe is
probably the most road weary of us all, and lugging a huge hunk of wood around
would mena she is def gonna go for the most compact looping unit
around...
And there is no doubt that there exists various multi track
loopers in software that out perform the Repeater now... But I have yet to
hear time stretch like the repeaters in any form, and the ability to have a
delay that comes back transposed (in 2 pitches at once) is something Im not
sure the software versions do yet...
Its a clunky beast however, and
the amount of trouble they went to to implement the ability to save onto a out
moded disk format wasted some time they could have spent programming the midi
implementation better and putting more things on the front panel... (How do
you un mute a chanel if you did it via CC anybody??)
I still love my
repeater.. but as a reliable song-loopers machine, I think its a bit
frightening...
