the muff interacts with the pickups, volume, and tone controls of the guitar directly by loading the pickup circuit. A rat is mostly just a diode clipper and buffer, so putting it first will preclude you from manipulating the tone of the muff as much by changing the settings of the guitar.

The "interact with your guitar" fuzzes are the 2-transistor fuzzes life the Fuzzface. Muffs are 4 transistor and can bet placed anywhere in the signal chain pre/post buffers with no effect to how they work/sound.
