Well, I'll say this- my BP-1 is a nice mid-drive overdrive w/a hint of fuzz pedal, but it might be unique, so YMMV. I don't much care for newer RATs, but I love, love, love, love, love my early 80's RAT, so I dunno. I don't think I'd buy a BP-1 now and I'm thankful I got the one I did, because it sounds fantastic with my Jazzmaster (not so much with my Strat and Tele and Les Paul- I wonder if it'd play well with my Dano?).
Maybe a Keely-modded RAT? Hell, just get a Z Vex SHO or Super Duper or Box of Rock. You can't go wrong with Zack's shit.

actually I'm thinking about finally trying a Super Duper, I reckon that'd work well with my Big Muff

My SHO is massive, so the Super Duper must be, well, even more massive. I'm not sure if it'd work well with a BM, tho' as it seems to be all about driving the shit out of tubes.daydreamdelay wrote: actually I'm thinking about finally trying a Super Duper, I reckon that'd work well with my Big Muff

I have a feeling it'd love being pushed by a super high impedance boost
