Try putting the Repeater in the effect loop of a little mixer. Play  
your effect boxes before the mixer or, depending in what type of box  
it is, in other mixer loops. Be sure to not use the Repeater input  
with the latency afflicted direct sound; there should be no direct  
sound for a mixer effect loop placement of a Repeater. Bring back the  
four repeater outputs on separate mixer channels. Send the mixer  
master output to the PA system.

This set-up will meat all your ambitions except making your mono  
guitar signal stereo. But you can use a stereo fx box for that. You  
can pan your four loop tracks as you wish and even split a Repeater  
stereo track into two mono tracks and slip one of them for ultra wide  
stereo (that trick is especially cool if your first recorded "stereo  
loop" is mono recorded into two panned Repeater tracks).

FYI I was using such a mixer/Repeater/EDP rig some years ago and  
found it very creative. The only drawback was the huge rack and the  
noise coming with the mixer (picture at www.looproom.com/
