The wave channel play a C1, (even though it's listed as a C2) which is 32.70hz...

32hz is below what 95% of speakers can reproduce, you'd need a sub to hear it. (and a lot of subs bottom out at 35-40hz) Go ahead, program a sine wave at lowest C on the wave channel, all you'll hear is a faint overtone unless you have an incredibly ranged system, which is probably just an artifact from the 4bit waveform sampling. 

What does this mean?  Nobody ever should need an underclocked gameboy.  For what you lose in processing power, you gain an octave you don't need. 

Just my 2 cents

Well, I'd be looking for a sub-bass. Although I'd be playing mostly around G1-A1 (49-55Hz) which tends to have quite a nice resonance, and the hope is that the system will have decent sub-capabilities, which is not an unreasonable expectation, in the UK and Ireland at least (I think, I've only my limited experience to go with on that). It will also bring down the pulse channels, which could be of use.

However the drop in processing power is a pretty big trade-off especially if it's you're purely working 1xLSDJ. Also I'm not entirely sure I like the tone achieved by an underclocked WAV bass.

Might be more inclined towards an external synth for sub reinforcement or the addition in software for the end production.
Still trying to figure out it's worth to be honest.
