I second the Aerco. There's also the Audioroot Femto that looks small. The Denecke PS-2 is cheaper, but I think the battery life is shorter. I think you have to plug in an external battery pack for extended recording.
Going bigger, there are the Sound Devices products, such as the MixPre-D or 302. You could also hunt around for the older MixPre, MP2 or the Shure FP24 (essentially a rebranded SD product). They have more options for and better metering than the Aerco.
What will you be using as a recorder? Some have on-board P48, and, if yours doesn't, you still need to take the recorder's inputs into account. I have no personal experience, but the Denecke PS-2 seems to be a popular choice. It has XLR outputs, but there is a 3.5 mm mod. You should also consider some of the small pre-amps, such as the Aerco MP-2, a little or tinybox (if you can find one), or something similar...
