Limiter
Designed to reign in your signal and keep it from peaking or clipping, we’ve implemented an optional
limiter if you need to keep your playing dynamics in check. The limiter acts similarly to a compressor
in that it catches any “peaks”, or volume spikes, from your input signal and regulates them down to a
more uniform level (a configurable “threshold” value).
The limiter is accessible through the Options menu, and more parameters are available in the Neuro
App and Neuro Desktop Editor.
“Split” Mode
Putting your pedal into Split Mode enables a second EQ channel for the Right output. This entirely
separate EQ curve will allow you to have a different EQ for either output, great for any stereo setup.
You can use an external switch like the Source Audio Tap Switch to swap the channels on any preset
you put into Split Mode. In a mono situation, this means you can toggle between 2 separate EQs per
preset.
Tuner
A chromatic tuner is available by pressing the footswitch + ENCODER KNOB at the same time. Other
ways to access the tuner via the pedal’s footswitch can be configured in the EQ2’s Hardware Options
via the Neuro App and Neuro Desktop Editor. See Hardware Options for more details.
Using the Tuner
When the tuner is activated, the Level Indicators rearrange to form notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G).
When the note you’re playing is sharped as opposed to natural, the Control/Activity LED will appear
above the note. For example, if you’re tuning to the note D#, this will appear on the screen as “D”
with the Control/Activity LED illuminated above it, whereas D will appear on the screen as a “D” with
NO Control/Activity LED above it.
As you start tuning up, you’ll notice the ON/OFF LED is orange, and arrows on either side of the note
begin to blink, indicating whether to tune up or down to get to the precise pitch. The Band Select
LED will indicate how close you are to the precise pitch of the note.
Note: Using the tuner will always mute the instrument’s signal, whether the pedal is engaged or
bypassed.
Approaching Pitch
As you approach an exact pitch, the ON/OFF LED will change from orange to green, and the Band
Select LED will appear as two LEDs illuminated in the center of the screen just below the note.
Reference Pitch
Standard concert pitch is A=440Hz, but some musicians (such as Jimi Hendrix) prefer to perform in
slight variations of concert pitch, like A=432Hz. The Reference Pitch of the tuner is configurable in
the Hardware Options section of the Neuro App and Neuro Desktop from A=430Hz to A=450Hz.
