interesting... seems like most people were saying they like it at the end of the signal chain. however i'm getting to grips with mine and definitely prefer it at the start of the chain/pushing other pedals. nice to hear i'm not alone!
congrats on the new pedal, too
i've never had so many compliments on my sound at gigs as when i use the RT. it's not "deep" deep (more mid-heavy, to my ears) but it pushes just the right amount of lows in a mix.
Picked up a Danny etched Rat Tail over the weekend. Can't wait for it to come in! 
It'sth gonna be stho awesthome.

So I currently have a Dark Driving on my board which I was using for some slight overdrive stuff (nothing majorly distorted, just adding a touch), but I recently got a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes that I am sort of using for the same thing. I'm toying with the idea of trading the Dark Driving for a Rat Tail, but I'm afraid it might be too aggressive for the style I play. Can the Rat Tail get somewhat tame? I will want it edgier than the Vintage Microtubes, but not crazy...does that make sense? haha.
I may just stick with what I have but I'm toying with the idea...

It won't have that "fatness" the DD has. More grindy/metallic in sound. Different mids focus in the RT than the DD. Get both?
Even consider the Oh See Demon or better the Demon King.
I saw some where Ryan said the OSD is the same circuit as the DD...(but with more gain?) Please correct me.

That is of course the best option
I'll probably just grab a rat tail at some point, then I can decide which i like better...
I believe you're remembering a statement that the OSD is the same circuit as the "DK" (Demon King), not the "DD" (Dark Driving).

I have mine in the front also it is always on and sounds fantastic.
Agree with what you state, but that's not what I recall reading. The topic was DD not the demon king. I'm happy to be wrong, though.

Dark Driving is not the same as the Oh See Demon or Demon King. The OSD and DK are the same circuit; demon king allows the user to have two mods in a box.
+1 I like the options of playing with different settings, but I always end up in the middle as well.
I like it at the end because of the way it brings out different harmonics in my Grey Stache, harmonics not normally emphasized in most muff clones. I have an Oh See Demon on the way too wich will benefit from my BDPG as well. But i consider my BDPG to be almost more of a part of my amp rig than my pedalboard. Its just personal taste, but the Grey Stache through a BDPG is the best muff sound ever IMO.
Me too. I do enjoy the Silicon diode setting too. But I always switch back to no diode.
+1. The OSD will also sound massive and incredible through the BDPG. You'll be in heavan.
