What do you think about Rat Distortion or its Polish version - Szczur Distortion? Do you recommended it for the first guitar effect? If not, what distortion or overdrive should I buy in your opinion?
What to pay attention to when choosing?

It may be a classic but you can’t really go wrong with the ts9 (or similar ones), really versatile, works great for crunch and slight od, all the way to metal, I also really enjoy using the boss sd1 to boost metal amps, I wouldn’t buy really exotic/unique pedals as a first, you’re better off buying something that’s good at mostly everything so you get to know what you like, and then buy specific pedals

I agree with @prisma linden that you can't really go wrong with a tubescreamer type pedal, but it doesn't quite cut it if you want to play really heavy music

I feel like something with a moderate amount of gain like a Marshall really gets into thrash realm with a ts9

#

You’re not gonna play periphery but old thrash and death stuff shouldn’t really be a problem with a crunch amp

Ok, thank you!
I have Boss Cube Street II and old, one of Rolnad' s amps. What parametres should I check before I buy pedal?
