If its a RAT clone, why not go with a RAT? Its inexpensive at around $90.
I have a RAT2 and I like it for some things. I mainly just use an OD pedal like a TS9 or SD-1 and let the amp do most of the OD work. But there are times I want to get really nasty and the RAT will get me to Distortion/Fuzz heaven.

Been using a Proco 2 for more than usual. Yes like the grit but that filter knob is very powerful for tone shaping. Excellent pedal for leads-chunk,,even low gain. in fact its a monster low gain pedal in fender,, Also killer fun on bass,

As good as box you can get for the money, RAT & TS & Muff & SD1 & DS 1 are the about as good as it gets when used in a circuit as intended

what a RAT do you say? instead of verbal conjecture how about an actual use in Fender Super Blackface with SG, it do this & very precise actually ,,

Here is the day the Marshall DSL ate the EVH 5150 alive in the studio in Drop B, so glad brought the DSL.. used the RAT to filter the low end out & the DSL hit hard into Marshall branded v30(early run & T75 early run) mic'd.

Was just agitated after recording the 5150, had it on a bunch of cabs. Had the 1960b cab in the work CX9 with the v30/t75 in X pattern & DSL 40 cr combo i chopped down to a head,
One of last songs ex wife did before brain damage ended the singing forever..

Never would of thought to bring a RAT but did at last minute & the studio guy laughed but i said,,a boost & USE the FILTER knob !! To this day use a RAT just for that filter shelving if needed even in a pedal stack at end. Just dont the let RAT gain get to fizz, set it nuetral as possible

Fer a couple of years in the '90s, after I sold my JCM800, I gigged with just a Les Paul into a Cry Baby, into a Rat into a Pro Reverb. It was one of the greatest rigs I ever had: super simple and "two channels" one clean and one filthy. That original Rat died and I got a new one, which sounded nothing like it. In fact, I sold the amp because I never found the perfect pedal for it again.
 
My current RAT is a 1994 Turbo RAT made by Grape (he designed the Turbo RAT)
