Just a thought, but you could get a Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro. Maybe that
will keep you busy while you wait. it has these advantages over new and not
quite released stuff:

- available now.

- in stock. (for the first time in many many years there is no waiting 
list!)

- you could have it tomorrow.

- all the software bugs were found and corrected a long time ago.

- every hardware problem that could possibly happen already has and was
corrected.

- Production quality is very good right now.

- it does a lot of things that the repeater won't do, and nothing else does
either.

- a lot of people use and like it, and that community is available to offer
experience and tips.

- A huge wealth of usage ideas from real loopers are in the archives of the
list and on the site.

- decades of collective looping experience went into it's design.

- currently on the third generation of it's development, with many ideas
and refinements that came from the previous generations.

- LoopIV, the fourth generation, will be here real soon now (tm). available
to all EDP units, with a whole bunch of brand new loop functions that
nobody's ever seen before.


or you could keep waiting and whining. :-)
