Like Johno and Roger say the hpf is built in. If you want a steeper curve you can use the 'Shelf' option on band 1 to get a more dramatic hpf cutoff to what it is normally set at. Compared to say a Microthumpinator that is 36db/Oct, you can get much lover than that with the shelf option.
[EDIT: OMG, we're all on the same wavelength!! ]As Johno mentioned, there's an input HPF that's separate from the 10 band EQ (so it's really an 11-band EQ!) I don't know how steep it is, but it's good for bass. You can adjust the cutoff frequency to taste. If it's not steep enough, add a low shelf on band 1, and even use band 2 to shape the slope a little more, but I suspect you'll be all set with just the HPF.
Is the global input HPF accessible on the pedal without the Neuro interface, or only via Neuro? Also, once applied, is it only applied to 1 preset at a time, or is it truly global?
Not global, but easily applied to each patch, on the pedal, I believe. Haven’t owned one in awhile.
Just put up a curve based on the Damnation Audio clean contour. Which is based on @Derek Williams good work on another thread. Might not be 100% right but sounds nice and dubby to me. I have some DA pedals but they have the old blend on them.
Is this with the pedal connected or not connected to other pedals (audio cables)?
Wow. I am loving this pedal! It allowed me to ditch my HPF and tuner and set its' HPF differently for each of my 4 presets.
And a fun fact which I hadn't realized when purchasing-I can use the 2nd channel/stereo in jack for play along tunes I am learning AND even better, when the play along bass tracks are hard to make out (usually older recordings) I can set the eq of output number 2 to accentuate bass and make 'em easier to discern.

Unfortunately, the LPF doesn't have multiple Pole options. But you can do a work-around by employing other bands. Take bands 9 and 8 and set them at -18 dB the drag them toward 1K and below, you'll see that slope steepen with one at 1K and one at around 500 Hz.
With the HPF on the other channel, you'll need to combine the B1 shelf with several band filters, pulling down & shaping the slope as you go. It takes some fiddling. I wish they'd have put a 2nd HPF on B1 (in addition to separate one) that goes up higher.

To get a sharper slope i use the 'Shelf' setting. You can get a sharper HPF like a Microthumpinator does this way, as well as a sharp LPF. Like Stubbsonic says you still have to combine some other bands to help but it is doable. Here is an example of getting a steeper LPF curve using the Shelving method.
I've uploaded that patch to Neuro. Sounds nice and Dubby! Instant Sublime 'Scarlet Begonia's' dubby vibes if you know the song.
Just installed the new Neuro app, still learning this new interface, but have a couple of questions if someone can advise:
1. I use an SA footswitch as an external control, and I am struggling to understand how to set it up using percentages. E.g. if my input trim is set to +2db in my master settings, what does 0%, 50% and 100% mean in this context?
2. I can't seem to find a way to load a preset offline into the pedal, can someone point me to the function that I can do this? The copy-paste preset function doesn't seem to work for me either.
An additional question on footswitches. I currently set up my external footswitch to switch between different input trims for 2 channels. Noticed that the ON/OFF footswitch on the pedal itself can be assigned as an external control too. Does this mean I can set up 2 controls (pedal footswitch + external footswitch)? How do I set up external controls individually for both footswitches?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

I just got an EQ2, and I’m noticing some weirdness in the neuro editor. Some of the presets look like the curve goes the opposite way that it should when I drag a point down. Here’s an example that looks weird to me, the shape doesn’t follow the points. If I drag the middle points down into a smiley shape, the curve actually moves up and flattens out. What’s going on here?

That is the EXACT reason why this transfer function in graphic form is so powerful. Poles and zeros in transfer functions impact each other in unexpected ways. This was kind of mind-blowing when Jesse first saw it. Follow the transfer function....not the dots.
