Yep, I'm in a similar circumstance. I've got a line on a Repeater but I'm
really torn as to whether to follow through on it. (I'd *really* like to
thank Mark Sottilaro for his insightful comments, by the way.)
I don't consider myself a looper in the strictest sense of the word. I'm
trying to put together a setup (all synthesizers, no acoustic instruments)
that will allow me to put Frippertronics-type space ambience over the top
of techno breakbeats. For that reason, I was originally thinking about
getting an Echo Pro, then possibly moving up to an EDP later if I really
got into looping.
But now I'm faced with the dilemma regarding the Repeater of "get it now
or
forever hold your peace". <*sigh*>
So, for those of you with Repeaters doing electronica, I'd just like to
ask: Is it really 'all that', or am I just getting caught up with gearlust
and engaging in overkill...?
TIA!!!
