how much as in signal strength or how much as in time?

All of it? Maybe I don't understand the question.

I'm sure there's someone out there thinking long and hard about this but I would say it is a safe bet that it is no longer than the delay time itself. In a tape delay that's a function of velocity of the tape and the distance between the recording and playback heads. In a BBD delay it's a function of clock frequency and capacitor count. In digital it is determined by sample rate, sample resolution, buffer capacity, and delay time. A looper would have a larger buffer capacity, better sample rate/resolution, and a longer delay time than say a pt2399.

A delay should repeat everything you played, some time in the future of when you played it.
Imagine a tape recording what you're playing. A delay is just reading the tape shortly after it was recorded and playing it back... all of what you played is recorded and played back. Digital delay and BBD approximate this through sampling but do the same thing. It can't discriminate between one note and 3, it's dealing with a continuous time series input and a continuous (or approximate) time series output.

that part is true, first in first out ... in a 100% wet mix you're only hearing the delay and it will be everything you input just after the overall delay time takes place. because most delay is played with a dry-favored mix the "delay" you hear is the last bit of music the length of the delay time

I don't even know what that means

single repeat vs multiple repeats.

What should I do with all of the pedals I have built, I think I have 150? Probably sold 50 of them.
I have had to stop since I have run out of places to store them all.

Sounds like you need more places to store them all! 150 pedals could make some lovely wall art, maybe you need those shelves like JHS.

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to unless the designer did something weird like connect one of the pins to a common copper plane.

He's gonna say build a spare room with shelves to store them!

I have wondered the same thing. I have sold several, but some of them may be less desired. I have pondered going to our local music store and seeing if any of the students would enjoy them. Certainly, I would donate them to the budding musician.
