I have been looking for a delay for a while now and struggling to find something that fits all my requirements.
For some reason I have not considered one of these but it looks spot on.
Looks great for shoegaze.
Stereo out.
Can do 100% wet.
Reverse.
Tap tempo.
Footprint is small.
Can be easily powered.
sub $200.
Logical, simple controls. I find space and timeline too complicated.
Any issues with this such as build, latency, suck etc?
I have not seen any love for it since I have been looking at this board for the last 12months or so.

Lots of love over here. Super versatile. It has reverb and vibrato on the delay, and you can choose whole eight or quarter notes. The ping pong feature is super nice. I got mine as b grade, but either way, there is a lot of bang for the buck...

I've got one and I dig it a lot. As lapsteel stated, super versatile.

Thanks for the info. Just ordered one. £129 delivered in the UK seems like a pretty good price over here.
I had a DD-7 and did not like it. Eventide Space I had was super complicated for me.
I suppose what I was asking was why many recommend Hardwire, Headrush or Digiverb but not this?
Anyway, excited to get it and give her a blast.

I'm not sure if as many people are familiar with the Nova as the others you listed. Definitely worth it though!

There is only ONE design flaw in the Repeater (IMO) and that is that the location of the "Kill Dry" signal switch is right above the engage button and it is possible to hit when turning on the effect ~ which can be lame.
I replaced it with a NOVA Delay which is the same amazing effect, and you toggle up to 9 presets, and it doesn't have this issue.
just my .02
I swear by my Nova delay ~

I switched to Flashback and I can say that Repeater is a winner in ease of use although Flashback sounds better in tape and analog modes

Tried my flatmate's, didn't like it. Sounded too sterile for me, had some great features though, so if you can dig this kind of delay, jump on it
