Lol - maybe. I tried it and sold it very quickly. Didn't like it nearly as much as my vintage TS9's. I figured I should keep an open mind and I love tube screamers, so I thought why not scratch the itch.
I have an OD-1 from about 1980. I also got the the Valeton OD-10 used from a TGP'er last week. Side by side into a Fender Champ "II" (a sort of non-reverb princeton) going through a Weber Californian 12" spkr. The boss pedal kills the Valeton**. Side by side the Valeton sounds like a toy, with huge loss of bass response. That said, in it's current state with both knobs around noon, the Valeton OD-10 performs quite well as a quasi rangemaster treble or midrange booster. I was able to get some decent sounds out of it in a live situation, but the original boss won't be for sale unless it starts fetching 4 digits LOL.
By the look of the enclosure, I would only expect that the Ibanez mini in green with similar graphics to be a re-issue of the original 808. Not sure why the comparison and disappointment when comparing to the 9? Sure it's apples to apples, but the write-up sounds you're expecting the Red Delicious to taste like a Granny Smith.
I'm confused: you say it's apples to apples, but I shouldn't compare? They are both Ibanez Tube Screamers: it's fair to compare a TS to a Fuzz Face IMO, both still pedals and someone can have a preference. I was interested in comparing the Mini to my Vintage 9's and I'm just sharing my preference. Not that the mini was bad, just wasn't my preferred pedal - if you like the Mini, power to ya! And my opinion doesn't mean you can't like it, or it isn't a good pedal. If you saw my other posts, I was tentative about the Mini, so certainly not expecting a Red Delicious to taste like a Granny Smith - I expected differences, and I simply posted what I heard as the differences when compared side-by-side to two vintage TS9's. A lot of TS fans out there who want to know how different options stack up - hopefully my comparison is helpful to others, because I would have been interested in that info myself. I wanted to like the Mini more than I did: I'd love to have smaller pedals and to sell my Vintage 9's for the $3-400 these things are fetching these days, but the mini just didn't cut it for me, just like other TS clones or boutique modded ones didn't cut it, from the Red Dirt to the Silver Mod. If I didn't have my vintage TS9's, I would probably go with completely stock Ibanez TS9's (as long as they have the 4558D chip). If Ibanez makes a mini that is voiced like a 9, I'd definitely be interested in trying that as well!
Wow, I should have thrown a couple smileys in there. Sorry wasn't intending to be rude. Hopefully, all who post here live in a free country and you can compare a Univibe to a TS-9 if you so desire (big smiley
). Your post was helpful, I thought I read it that you were disappointed and flipped or sent back the mini, because it wasn't like the nine. If I got that wrong sorry, no offense intended. I never loved my original 1981 TS-9 so I sold it when they were going for crazy money. 
+1 on the Rowin Trelicopter. Useless. Returned it same day.
I have a Donner EQ, and I agree - the range is crap. But I have a Mosky Blue Delay, and used to have a Donner Yellow Fall, they both had plenty of range. And I absolutely love the HOF Mini, Blues Crab, and several of the others.
