Re: Bitrman
I don't have any experience mixing it with rackmounts, but I know it does very well mixing with other analog stomp boxes. You can both feed other things into it and have it feed other FX and get a lot of cool things going on.
As I see it there are three or four "classic" distortion tones that guitarists like to use as far as stompboxes go, see if you can find what you are looking for in this list. There's the fuzzface (fuzz that cleans up nicely, can be both subtle and pretty over the top, if you want one buy a boutique remake as I don't think anything sold today with the name "fuzzface" on it sounds any good), the tubescreamers (pretty subtle all around, not a lot of gain, but great for overdriven amp tones, can also be used somewhat as a clean boost), the RAT (great distortion, also cleans up nicely, more gain than the tubescreamers, but not as much as the big muff, a lot of different shades of distortion, and you can get a lot of harmonics out of this if you want them), and the big muff (saturated tone for days). You can cover A LOT of distortion ground with a TS, a RAT, and a BIG MUFF by using them independently and together. I would personally chain them in that order.
Hope this helps!

I have no experience with the Phase 90, but I love my Big Muff. It is
what it is though, you have to love it for what it is and NOT what it
is not. It is NOT an overdrive of any sort, so don't expect any sort
of subtlety out of it. Great saturated tone though, and it sustains
forever, especially at high volume with a tube amp.
