GAIN
Sets the gain per channel. Each channel has its own gain control from -18dB to +18dB. Useful for
matching the Channel 1 and Channel 2 levels when Split mode is used, similar to a line selector pedal.
Note that these channel gain values are separate from the master output volume control.
SPLIT
By default, all of the controls for Channel 2 will match the Channel 1 settings. If Split Mode is turned
ON, the Channel 2 controls can be set to different values. Turning Split OFF will make Channel 2
match Channel 1 again. When Split is enabled, push and turn the encoder to scroll all the way to the
right to view and edit Channel 2. Scroll back to the left to view and edit Channel 1.
LIMITER
Enable or disable the clipping limiter to prevent digital clipping. By default the limiter uses a
lookahead delay, but this can be turned off in the Neuro Mobile App and Neuro Desktop Editor.
GATE
Enable or disable the EQ2’s internal noise gate.
THRESHOLD
Adjust the noise gate threshold from -100dB to -60dB. -60dB would be the most aggressive gating
for very noisy signals.
HP FREQ
Each channel has an independent input high pass filter that is adjustable from 10Hz to 80Hz. Note
that the filter is always active. Setting to 10Hz effectively removes the filter from the signal.
SHELF (Bands 1 and 10 Only)
The lowest and highest filter bands can be changed from a normal “peaking” filter to a “shelving”
type with this control. A low shelf (Band 1) boosts/cuts all frequencies lower (to the left of) the
frequency selected. A high shelf (Band 10) boosts/cuts all frequencies higher (to the right of) the
selected frequency. The frequency and Q settings for these bands will apply to both peaking and
shelving modes.
CONFIG
Toggles between parallel filters (default option) and cascading (series) filters. Most EQ devices use
parallel filters, but some parametric equalizers use filters in series for a more dramatic effect.
MIDI CH
Sets the global MIDI Channel on your EQ2 from Ch. 1 to Ch. 16.
FS Option
Select the main global footswitch operation mode. There are eight possible configurations, including
enabling the tuner by double tapping or holding the footswitch. For more information on the
footswitch operation options, visit the Hardware Options section of this guide.
CNTRL OPTION
Sets the global Control Input mode: 1-Neuro Hub/Expression, 2-External Switch, 3-
Increment/Decrement Preset, 4-Tuner. For more information, see External Switch Options.
