Here we go... EDP vs. Repeater

["Funkay" <funkay@mindless.com>]

I've worked with the EDP on many occasions, I'm familiar with how it works
and how to use it live. My live performances are usually just me with a
small drumset, a couple guitars, bass, keyboards etc...+ an EDP and mixer. 
I
like the way the echoplex works in this situation but Its still a little 
too
complex for me to be as spontaneous as I want to be, plus issues with the
mono thing and the footpedal self-destructing. I just don't feel 
comfortable
with it. I would like to get a Reapeter after reading up on it, but I dont
have a clue how it would compare or how well it would fit in with the way I
like to perform. Can someone tell me the basic differences between the two?
I don't want to start a big argument on which is 'better', but it may be
inevitable...
