So, honestly now, is the Black Cat Moan all it's worked up to be on bass, or should I forgo any delay/modulation, and just add dirt?
...or do I already know the answer to that question...

Yes they do!
Their Phaser is really nice. I built it and used it for a while before i... well... phased it out. Ba-zing!
Also, you may want to look into thier "Mighty Mouse" which is a modified RAT clone. I just ordered the kit on Tuesday. So we'll see how it goes!
No, I happen to be in love with the Black Russian Muff (my second pedal, way way back when), and watching it get overtaken by something that is both tamer and much more useful in a band context just wrenches my heart in two.
both are available so I don't see what your fussing about
Go for a wah. Stick it after fuzz. Find way to blend in fuzz with wahed fuzz. ????. Profit.
I cannot stand the wait. I've been on a real Om kick lately

Fuzz->LS-2->Whatever
Send A->Wah->Return A (provided fuzz->wah sound)
Send B->Return B (thereby keeps a channel of "unaffected" fuzz)
Set mode to "A+B Mix"
Use A and B knobs to blend
???
Profit

On a side note since the LS-2 in mix mode switches to bypass when "off" you switch the wah on and off from the LS-2

QUICK EDIT: Oh, and there are other ways of doing this, but usually require the Wah to have 2 outputs (1 dry, 1 effected) or fuzz to have 2 outputs (both effected). I have done something similar using my B2 for wah and my VBjr to mix.
It sounds awesome. That is all.
Do wahs reverse the phase at all? I guess some might. All I know is I can't use myy 442 with my Barge VB-Jr because of phase issues - blending it results in a severe volume drop, especially at the low end. If your Barge has the extra phase switch you'll be ok!
a lot of wahs will be difficult to use with in that configuation with a buffered looper like the LS-2. THIS is a job for tbp.
Is the 442 a low pass or band pass filter.
I know from talking to Mario at Robot Factory, the LPF and HPF modes on the 'Wad output inverted phase, but the band pass apparently does not.
I was gonna leave this alone, but the shear amount of sillyness confounds me.
How the hell is true bypass gonna help with blending. In all my experience of blending (passive mic mixer, passive stereo mixer, active mono mixer, barge VBjr) the 2 w/o buffers usually FAIL at mixing instrument level signals.
Both the active mixer and VBjr have giving awesome results, IMHO/E because of the buffering of the signals.
I could understand if your concern was as dannybouy's post above you, but phase inversion of a filter has nothing to do with bypass, AFAIK.
There's nothing silly about this, Dan. I'm on a crusade to debunk buffer myths, but this is one of the classic reasons to use TBP
It's because of the interaction between the buffered pedal (LS-2 in this case) and the wah
It gets even more complicated if you have a fuzz involved in the mix
do your homework on this stuff before you start calling folks "silly" :scowl:
Huh. I wonder if thats why my blending attemps with the Dime wah I use to own didn't work out too well
Thats not to say that my experiments with the B2s model didn't. They did. I think I read somewhere that older wahs would prolly be inverted, but newer ones prolly wouldn't be.Instead of the LS-2 he could pick up: http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-mix.htm (it has a polarity switch)
Just stick the fuzz in front of it and the wah in its loop
For someone "debunking" something, you seem to have a lack of willingness to provide links or info. Debunking isn't just stating something then telling peeps to "do their homework".
So fuzz, wah and some buffers = no good. Why?
Then again, I notice no difference in tone with buffers in front of any of my fuzzes
You are just gettings stranger and stranger LOL.

I only told you to do your homework because you stated I was full of "silliness"
without re-posting a bunch of informative links on bypass that nobody ever seems to read, a buffered looper like the LS-2 WILL interfere with the fuzz->wah signal path. This isn't just some hypothetical conjecture, nor is it merely my personal experience - it is electrical principles in action and I hope somebody more articulate in technical matters steps in because it's the weekend and I don't have time to compose a treatise
