You seem to already know it! :-)

The echoplex is a mono looper and if you want one layer of a loop to be
reversed, related to earlier layers, you will have to first reverse the 
loop
before recording the new layer and then reverse it back again.

It seems to me that a Repeater can meet your expectations better. (I
personally like the EDP better, but that's just my way of using it in my 
own
music)
