I have a Rat Tail so the DD is more intriguing to me, but I love fuzz and I love Ryan. The OSD is also a completely different animal...
I play a lot of grind/crust/powerviolence and some stoner/doom. I don't know what I want. I just want more.

Dude, I have never had a Rat or vintage Rat to compare but hands down whichever version of the Rat Tails I have owned (this is my third one) they have never failed to put a smile on my face. I use it as a slightly gritty OD or boost to my sound and I always seem to keep the fundamental sound of my basses (all passive). I don't know why but I prefer them to all the OD's I have tried. Maybe cause it's not an OD?
I come back to the Rat Tail and its become my OD point of reference. Its just a clean, punchy, dirty sound and depending on my need I can boost and cut my highs (and level of breakup) to taste. I even got a Rusty Boxish sound out of it the other day (though my band does not come near to needing that kind of tone).
Anyway I was moved to write this because I just got an OD in the mail from another builder that I have been lusting after and I A/B'd it with my Rat Tail. Guess who won?
Maybe I like my OD dry (it the only word I can come up with that compares OD distortion with the Rat Tail distortion I dial up), but if I had one pedal that can deliver the dirt... its the RT.
Thanks Ryan!
