You remind me of me. A brand new piece of gear hasn't even entered my house and I'm wondering how to mod it once I buy it and bring it home! Or, while I'm waiting for an eBay parcel, I'm also buying mod kits or looking for replacement knobs, switches, etc. Now, older and wiser , I play the darn thing for a long while, and then decide why I like it or don't like it. Compare it to your other pedals. If you have no other fuzz pedals, and you screw this up, you won't have a pedal to play.
I still say just try the Ruetz mod first, and then tweak the EQ if you still feel the need. Clipping the diode will take away the buzz, and what's a Rat without buzz?

Listen to these samples;

You can pick the tones you like, and aim for those. Either buy that pedal, or tweak what you have.

If all this doesn't make your head swim, and then make you want to tweak, nothing will.
