But beings the RAT is a distortion, and gnarly one at that, I don't think they're going to cleanup like a TS, Bluesbreaker or something like that.
And as for the KOT, and this is in NO WAY putting down Mr AnalogMan (I have HUGE respect for Mike), but you could build yourself 2 Bluesbreaker clones and stuff them in 1 enclosure. MadBean sells the "8 Ball", which is a very well executed Bluesbreaker clone. The KOT is 2 modified versions of that circuit, I think the difference being clipping diodes and 500K gain pot on the "high gain" side. I've built several of them and everyone really loves them. You can also check out the JHS Morning Glory as it's another modded clone.
