Feature Overview
10 Adjustable Frequency Bands – Adjust each of the 10 bands to be set at any point on the audio
frequency spectrum between 20Hz and 20,000Hz (20kHz).
Additional +12dB of Clean Boost – Each preset has a configurable “Output” control with up to +12dB
of clean boost on tap.
Universal Bypass – Select between true bypass or analog buffered bypass. The EQ2 features high-
quality signal relays for true bypass and transparent buffers for analog bypass.
Flexible Stereo Routing – EQ2 is equally at home in a mono or stereo rig. The EQ2 Auto-Detects the
Inputs and Outputs that are being used and accordingly routes each channel in Mono-to-Mono,
Mono-to-Stereo, or Stereo-to-Stereo modes. Additional complex routing options are available in the
Neuro Editors.
Split Mode – By default, the same equalizer settings are applied to both Channel 1 and Channel 2.
Using Split mode allows for entirely independent settings of level, frequency, Q factor, etc. per signal
channel.
Compact Design – The extruded anodized aluminum housing, with its slim profile and small footprint,
is built for the rigors of the road.
Onboard Tuner – EQ2 comes with an onboard chromatic tuner that can be accessed in multiple
different ways using the pedal’s footswitch.
Presets – Save your favorite sounds with the touch of a button. Save total of 128 presets recallable
on the pedal itself or with an external MIDI controller.
Neuro Mobile App – The Neuro App is a free download for iOS and Android mobile devices. The App
offers a powerful extension to the basic pedal functionality with the options of preset saving and
publishing. Edit your presets and download them directly to your pedal, save them in your private
library, or publish and share them with the rest of the Neuro Community.
Two-Way Mobile Communication – For the first time, EQ2 will provide two-way Neuro
communication with your mobile device through the USB port on the pedal.
The Neuro Desktop Editor – Connect your EQ2 to the USB port on your Mac or Windows PC to create
and save advanced presets with the Neuro Desktop’s sleek editing interface. The Neuro software is a
free download for Mac or Windows based PCs. Two-way communication between the pedal and your
computer also allows the Desktop Editor to see the parameter settings of every preset stored in your
EQ2.
Neuro Hub Ready – The Source Audio Neuro Hub connects up to five compatible Source Audio
pedals and stores the settings of multi-pedal “Scenes.” Up to 128 Scenes can be saved and recalled
using the Neuro Hub alongside a standard MIDI controller. This option combines the power of a
multi-effects system with the ease and flexibility of a traditional pedal board.
