I'm not sure I make that distinction.  All loopers "sample."  To me, 
it's a functionality thing.  I can use the Repeater in ways that the 
listener wouldn't be able to tell the difference from an EDP and vise 
versa.  I could use it in other ways that would make someone who knows 
say, "Oh he's using the <insert looper here> because only that box has 
that functionality."  Right now I'm not using the EDP and the Repeater 
together.  I haven't found the "place" for the EDP in my setup that 
won't mean loosing my stereo setup.  I also find it distracting to have 
to deal with two separate loopers, as I've already got a lot going on.  
I think the EDP will become my live box, while the Repeater will be my 
"studio" box.  At least for now.
