I think I'd rather have an accountant now. I've had one before and used it for subtle kinda gritty boost. Adds some punch or gets swampy as fuck too.

I think I'm gonna get an accountant and Unpleasant Surprise. :drool:

The Mini chased away my Barbershop - way more gain range. Different flavours for sure, but the Mini copped low tones well enough along with the higher gain stuff that I felt the two were redundant. It is starting to get into splitting hairs and personal preference, but I think I liked the Barbershop low gain tones a little more, but the Mini has more bottom end (of course). the Barbershop is not as compressed as the Mini is. I've had two Barbershops before, I'm sure I'll get a third eventually, but for now the Mini is the one I've got.

Anyway, an Accountant is cool too. :)

I have a Mini, and am looking for another OD.

Seriously tempted by the Barbershop but also been wanting to try a Mantra forever. Ability to stack well gets bonus points, but overall just looking for some good raunchy lower gain tones. Not trying to replace the Mini (pry it from my cold dead hands) but just some more options.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Special low-frequency version.

You could always try a Driving Notion. It's extra raunchy and it stays pretty low gain.

Be warned though, its not for everyone.
