"Hi, I'm in Delaware."
I'm pretty set on getting one of the TC delay pedals, but I'm not really sure which one.
-The Repeater is cheaper and has an input for use with an FX loop, but I get the feeling that the Delay can handle being used in an FX loop, too.
-The Repeater seems to have more modulation effects available.
-They both offer spillover, which I will probably always keep on (not sure if it can even be switched off on the Delay).
-Delay has presets and a nice screen for dialing in the exact delay time.
-The delay modes on each pedal are different. The Repeater has Studio, Analog, and Tape modes (not sure what those actually do), whereas the Delay just has Delay Line. But the Delay has Pan and Slapback modes instead.
-Both have tap tempo and "audio tapping."
-Delay has longer possible delay times.
-Both have essentially the same knobs, so I can make them more analog or digital sounding.
-Slightly different divisions under the last dual delay option.
I almost always use digital delay when I want an actual delay effect, but occasionally might want the analog sound to add some space. The biggest difference, in my book, is that the Repeater is cheaper, but I would have to order it, whereas I can pick up the Delay in the store. So I'm just trying to figure out if the Delay is still a better pedal overall or if its biggest benefits are still the presets and the screen.
