Especially for a slightly gritty bit of slide playing.
That being said, I think the Timmy treble knob is kind of Rat-based? And it has a bass cut knob so you can cut bass, too. I know it's boutique but there are loads of cheapo clones out there if you just want to see what it's like...
FWIW I pretty much use my Timmy the way you use your Rat, lol.

Tough act to follow though - Rats just seem to work with minimal tweaking no matter the guitar or amp.
You might as well try the Timmy model if you have an HX FX. It's definitely a (fairly low gain) overdrive rather than a distortion like the Rat, but the treble knob might sort of work in a similar way...

For stacking, a tubescreamer works great into a Rat.
I also really like Klon style pedals as an always on boost, the Soul Food works great for this and cleans up better than a Rat if you like to play with your guitar volume control.
I imagine something like a TC Spark doing the same role would do the same thing really well.
