Hi Mitch, they didn’t tell me that per se, but their website lists the range for the progressive expansion as A0 to A4. I tried going down to G# but that gives me the same note on bass that the guitar plays (G#1, I think). So yes I can re map the notes and just have notes lower than A0 go up an octave to match the guitar, but this isn’t perfect. I understand that bands like Meshuggah often play the same notes on bass and guitar when tuned this low. But I also think there are lots of prog metal bands tuning ultra low and having the bass go one octave lower. So it would be a welcome change. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.

Hi, I’ve been frustrated by this as well. I understand that you are only supporting -2 semitones in most expansions. But why wouldn’t you support -6 semitones in the progressive metal expansion, as you do in the Metal expansion? It seems to me that most players using the progressive metal pack would want that same low range.
