I need to play through another amp Thursday night at practice. I almost bought a Blackstar HT-Dual just to cover it, but then a mate loaned me a modded Boss Metal Zone; rofls. It actually doesn't sound as awful as I was expecting. But stacking my gain pedals together sounds a bit crap, and I think maybe I'm doing it wrong. so...
Mainly looking for tips on what to do with my three gain pedals. The amp I'm using is completely clean, so I'll need clean (just the amp) crunchy clean, rhythm crunch, and high-gain crunch. Reckon Boss Metal Zone for the high-gain stuff... OCD for the rhythm crunch, and the RAT for crunchy cleans.
How would you order?

This, you can get a beasty hi-gain sound out of a Rat on its own.

If that's what's required, it's a bit niche though!

It sounded pretty good actually. A little honky in the low-mids which was difficult to dial out but in terms of low-end thump and crisp (but not fizzy) high-end... it was the closest to a valve amp that I've ever heard a distortion pedal do. Better than my Fulltone OCD even.
Very noisy though. I forgot how noisy guitar can be, really spoilt with the JVMJS's noise-gates!!
All in all, it wont replace my amp. But as a backup, it's pretty nifty. Kind of interested to see what it sounds like into the clean channel of my JVM too.
