I think what you've got is a case of champagne taste and beer budget. And these college kids with nice guitars and amps, and effects, but no cash for an EDP or Repeater....? Like they're never going to spend more money on gear? Please. If they can afford to go to college, they can find the money for and EDP (or a Repeater)...if they really want one. If they're just dilettantes who think it sounds like a "cool idea", well I think it'd be cool to have a car that goes 0-60 in 5 seconds, but I'm not going to whine about how I can't find one for under a thousand dollars. Tools cost money.
