The hungry robot HG+LG caught my attention. It actually totally fits the bill, except it doesn't seem to easy to get a hold of a used one that doesn't cost $10 less than abrand new one :s
That can't be the only small pedal out there that can serve both hg and lg purposes with two seperate switches, right??

My first thought is boss SD-2 with a foot switch, it's a great OD,
as I recall pretty much any latching switch will change the thing
it's not fancy but it's all kinds a good sounding

^^^lulz. Careful there!
King of Tone's got configurable sides via internal dip switches, can go from boost to average OD range to higher gain. I haven't tested how high exactly it goes gain wise...doubt it's like f'n Bogner territory but there's a good deal of variety to be had. Obvious big downside is the wait. Not sure what the used price/availability is like, but worth looking.

Thanks dudes...But so far still no suggestions for a hi+lo gain dirt pedal in one small package

That small box KOT comes close I guess, but the lack of seperate controls and the annoying horizontal layout ruin it for me...

Plus, it doesn't get anywhere near the gain level of the Hungry Robot, does it?

Are you looking for a specific high gain and low gain sound on each side or a versitile drive that can do both with 2 gain settings?

Gray Channel isn't that big, I just got a Spires and it's only slightly wider than a boss type pedal.

Visual Sound / TrueTone makes a few dual drives like this that I think sound pretty good

Blackstar make a tube-based one called the HT-Dual I believe, but it's probably bigger than you're looking for. I think AMT makes a few as well.

Barber Half Gainer is pretty beastly, but a little bit big too.

Here are few that come to mind:
BAT Coven is really good but probably too big
Fuzzrocious Cat/Rat Tail or Demon w/ dual drive mod
Made by Mike Dream Box
Devi Black/white spider
Dwarfcraft Total Spack Vibes has two gain settings I think

wouldnt a zvex box of rock or double rock work pretty well? i'm pretty sure you could set one side of the double rock LG and the other side HG.
or a mellowtone half chan full chan? supa chan? clean chan dirty chan. I don't know if you would be able to even find one though.

What about the Function Fx Third Rail that Neon brought up in the Grey Channel thread? One side has a high gain switch. Looks roughly the same size as the KoT. Seems sweet overall.

Thanks. Still though, unless I missed something, there doesn't seem to be anything out there like the Hungry Robot...Tiny, and with the vertical layout and the basic three controls for both sides
Almost makes me suspecious whether it's even possible to build something like that without making serious compromises tone whise

None of the clips I checked REALLY convinced me, but tbh I'm not easily impressed with dirt pedal demos
