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.
