Low gain OD

I'm looking for a good low gain OD to compliment my crowther hotcake and nick greer suckerpunch. I've heard good things about the Barber LG and the JHS Morning Glory. What do you guys like? Thanks.

Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop. It is extremely versatile and does the low gain thing perfectly. IMO of course.

Barber 1/2 gainer is nice cause you get two in one. Two switches to toggle.
Wampler Ecstacy is great. Three sounds, but you can only use one at a time.

Barber Direct Drive Low Gain edition is my go-to low gain OD and one of my favorite ODs of any sort, really naturally sounding, beautifully built and tweakable w/ internal trim pots for bass and presence and a pull switch for a bit of what sounds like a mid boost. Great pedal.

Have both a Barber Silver LTD and LTD SR. Both the best amp-like, low gain pedals I have played.

Additionally - I would add the EH Germanium OD, which I think is a sleeper pedal for adding just a little bit of grit.

I just picked up a MP Sweet Honey OD. It's a great little pedal with fantastic touch senstivity and volume clean up.

Sitori Drive... by sitori sonics. JHS Morning Glory is sweet too. Oh and the amp 50 from lovepedal is nice too, it's tiny too

The Butah by CMATMODS is another good one.

Jetter Helium

I just picked up a Jetter Red Square pedal and the low gain side is the best low-gain pedal I've ever used. I would recommend a Jetter Helium but it seems foolish not to just get the Red Square as you also get a Red Shift in the same pedal for only a little more dough. They're hardwired together and you can change the stacking order with internal presets. I find myself using the Helium side almost all evening. It's great.
