Looking for a specific OD

I'm trying to find a good low-gain OD that sounds good on its own and can stack well with my VT Bass without pushing it to an extreme. My only criteria are:
-Blend Knob
-EQ section (preferably with a mid control)
-9V (although 18V would be acceptable)
-Not too big

Ones that I've already tried and didn't care for: Boss ODB-3, MXR Bass DI, SansAmp __-Drivers.

Thanks

The blue berry is kinda cool. The one I still use the most is a Fulltone Bass Driver.

They used to be all over the place for cheap but not so much any more.

It dosn't have an EQ section and it dosn't have a blend (the blend part can be solved with a Boss LS-2 though), I havn't even tried it myself yet. But I just love the sound and am planing to get one myself.
Here it is, a modded Boss BD-2 : Modded Boss BD-2 - TOTAL SLEEPER OVERDRIVE

Curious if you found it yet? The Rusty Box clips sound great.

Also, the purple Behringer bass o.d. gets much lower gain than the Boss ODB-3. And, since it's purple and kinda fuzzish, I think it might really be a Pork Loin clone! (And they're only $24 new at Mus. Friend.)

What about Pork loin?
-blend knob - yes
-9v - yes
-EQ section - I think it has a tone control with curve setting
-not to big - that's relative

Pork Loin for sure. It may look big at first, but thanks to the top jacks is about as wide as side jacked pedal with cables plugged in.
