About Boss SL-2

If you're looking to infuse your music with a dynamic and rhythmic pulse, the BOSS SL-2 Slicer Pedal is your gateway to a universe of vibrant sonic landscapes. This compact and durable pedal is the evolution of the legendary SL-20 Slicer, now reimagined with advanced features in a pedalboard-friendly size that's perfect for guitarists, keyboardists, vocalists, and electronic music creators alike.

The SL-2 Slicer Pedal stands out with its high-quality digital-analog hybrid design, offering a plethora of sound manipulation possibilities that go beyond the capabilities of purely analog pedals. With its innovative engine powered by modern DSP, the SL-2 delivers an array of rich, animated sounds that can be split into single or dual paths, each enhanced with multiple internal effects for truly versatile performance.

This user-friendly pedal comes loaded with 88 onboard patterns, ensuring that you have a vast creative arsenal at your fingertips. For those who crave even more variety, the BOSS Tone Studio app provides access to hundreds of additional patterns, allowing you to customize your sound to match any musical genre or style.

Crafting your unique groove is intuitive with the SL-2's efficient interface. Shape your sound with the Attack control, adjusting the waveform's edge from crisp chops to gentle waves. The Duty control lets you modify the waveform's length, creating everything from staccato hits to elongated audio waves. Set your tempo effortlessly with the dedicated knob or use the tap tempo mode for on-the-fly adjustments.

The SL-2's versatility shines with its multiple output options. Whether you're using a standard mono setup or exploring the seven different stereo and 3D output modes, this pedal allows you to direct your sounds in creative ways, perfect for both studio recording and live performances. Immerse yourself and your audience in a captivating auditory experience with modes like Ping-Pong, Random, and the immersive 3D Cross and 3D Rotation.

Expand your creative flow seamlessly with the SL-2's external control capabilities. Connect an external footswitch for instant tempo tapping or effect engagement, or an expression pedal to manipulate parameters or overall level in real-time. The TRS MIDI input ensures perfect synchronization with drum machines, DAWs, or any MIDI-equipped device, and MIDI CC messages can be used for expression, tempo, and bypass functions.

In summary, the BOSS SL-2 Slicer Pedal is a durable, high-quality, and innovative tool that offers unparalleled versatility and user-friendly operation, making it an essential addition to the toolkit of any musician seeking to elevate their performances with fresh, rhythmic energy.
