@rsmith601 I'm a proud owner of the C4 and several months ago traded my Nemesis for a Collider! I just took a look at the user manual for the programmable EQ and it looks like you guys hit it out of the park again! I definitely need one of these in my life!

The fact that it has a tuner is just icing on the cake. I have been looking to replace my Pitchblack, because it struggles sometimes to track my lowest string (D0, 18.35 hz lol). Do you know if the EQ's tuner can handle that? If it's at least workable, the EQ will be an insta-buy, if it's better, this is the pedal of the year in my books!

I don't know. Need to check. The app is now available. Playing with the bands and seeing the results on the EQ curve is cool!!! Unique pedal.

I just had a check running a synth square wave into it and pitching down an octave as I don't have a five-string bass. Lowest it registered was the A below a low B (lowest note of a regular 88-key piano) so 27.5Hz.

Can’t you just tune that string (or any) using the octave harmonic? It will always be an exact octave up

Thanks for doing that, good to know.

That's a good point; I was aware that you could tune off of the harmonic, but I never really trusted that I could get a clean octave harmonic from the D0 string due to the thickness (nearly 1/4") and the amount of mass / strength of vibrations when it is struck.

I tried it tonight and it seems to work ok with the Pitchblack. But on the other hand, the Pitchblack isn't also basically a 10 band software EQ.... so I guess I still need the EQ2 hahaha!

Of topic, but I wanna hear this bass in action!

That is exactly what I did this morning, amazing manipulation especially with two really versatile EQ curves. I'm really looking forward to it, any estimated scheduling for shipping it to New Zealand.
Can't wait to try and mess with sending control signals combining my Reflex, neuro hub and EHX 8 Step to replicate some of the functionality of the Moog MURF. Killer pedal.
