I once checked out someone's Freakshow Brown Rabbit ... I thought that was a kick-ass pedal, and I'm told that it's basically an improved Rat. I've never played a Rat, though, so I can't compare.

I haven't played enough of the clones / derivatives to say for sure, but I do like the D*A*M Ramshead.

I have a Skreddy Pink Flesh: Great sounding, very smooth muff sound.
I had a DAM Rams Head (up until 1 month ago): I little more raw/aggresive sounding, still loved it...just couldn't justify keeping it as I didn't use it a ton.
My favorite right now? A newly aquired Diceworks Fuzz Epic. It's muff side is a pure joy to play. To my ears, and through my set up, it the fullest-sounding of the bunch. Its so versitile, it has so many toggle options, you can basically capture any muff sound you are looking for. It is very Bjorn-esque in that practically every setting I try is usable in some way.

I have a Dice Works Muff Diver Finale and Pink Flesh coming...
I really hope the Muff Diver Finale is similar to your Fuzz Epic.
I can't wait!

The Fraternity is a Rat variation with a number of clipping opttions so you can get Rat sounds as well as some very unRat sounds and some things approaching Muff ville with t he fill knob that fluffs the bottom and lower the mid honk of the Rat sound....
