I still love my Repeater, but now that the LP-1 has its Aux Outs
up-&-running, I've been using an external pitch-shift unit to obtain
similar -- yet no less interesting -- results.
Also, over on the Looperlative board, Knights also figured out how to
do quick-and-dirty time shifting by combining a pitch shifter with
the loop manipulation capabilities already inside the LP-1. For
instance, you want to double the length of a loop without affecting
it's pitch? Half-speed the loop on the LP-1, then use the pitch
shifter to bump it up by an octave. Tres' simple.
Of course, I still love the immediacy and the bizarre artifacting of
the Repeater, both of which are reasons I keep mine around. However,
other hardware is beginning to come closer to some of those functions
too.
