Good point, I tested the Repeater about 5 times last night and got the
same numbers each time. I guess that is lag or delay.

That's not what we're measuring, but sure. What we're measuring is
simply the extra time it takes audio to pass through the Repeater. It
didn't seem to matter whether or not I was playing a loop, I always
ended up with a 11 ms difference between my straight signal and the
signal that passed through the Repeater. I must admit that I also had
it going through a Lexicon MPX1 (on bypass) so I'm not sure if that had
any effect on my numbers. I could take it apart and do it again but
that's too much work and I don't care all that much.

I'm carrying.
