Hey Dylan; Digitech made a few long delay racks in that time machine series you may also want to check out the 3600 - which got about 7.2 seconds (you could trim it to about 8) and had digital display. I'm not really a big Phish guy, so I couldn't comment on a particular sound. One caveat with the older loopers, while you don't have to start and stop a loop, it also means that you don't have any control over that. It was a little difficult to get a "seamless" loop as you had to anticipate exact loop length and play into that.
