When going into a clean amp through a fender type guitar, it's super treshy and that's also a rad tone, but my only distortion pedal for the last 4 years has been a Rat which Skullservant later modded for me, and through a guitar with humbuckers with a very lightly breaking up british voiced amp, it's so thick and punishing that it always makes me smile.
Yeah, that's kinda the only way I can stand a Rat. British voiced semi-clean amp with a ruetz'd rat in front, and preferably a muff thrown in the mix as well...

Well, I got it, and it's sweet! I enjoyed the keeley modded LM308 Rat that I owned a couple years ago, but I am really digging the Iron Pig. It's not quite as versatile as I thought it'd be but the clipping options are all nice to have, and it sounds great as a low gain OD and higher gain, more typical, rat.
