The BOSS SL-2 Slicer will add instant vibrant rhythmic energy to your music! The SL-2 will chop your sound into percussive patterns with added filters and effects bringing grooves to life across the stereo field.
Evolved from the legacy SL-20, the SL-2 expands on its capabilities whilst shrinking into the BOSS compact format, perfect for your pedalboard. Fun and easy to use, everyone from guitarists, loop performers, keyboardists, DJs and Beatmakers will love want it can do to their music,
There are 8 pattern types, with each one having 11 variation giving you plenty of power to be creative. With its options you'll get animated sounds via single and dual paths chained with multiple internal effects:
Pre-Loaded Pattern Types:
• Single (1 and 2)—Rhythmic patterns that use a single Slicer effect.
• Dual (3 and 4)—Rhythmic patterns that use two Slicer effects.
• Tremolo (5)—Patterns with a traditional tremolo effect.
• Harmonic (6)—Rhythmic patterns with pitch-shifting effects.
• SFX (7 and 8)—Rhythmic patterns with different effects applied.
Tweak the sound with Attack and Duty controls, The Attack control will take you from hard-chopped slices to softer movements, whilst the Duty control tweaks the waveforms length, going from sharp transients to longer audio blocks.
Adjust the tempo with the dedicated knob or hold the pedal switch to engage tap tempo mode for hands-free control. And with the Balance knob and +/-12 dB of output level adjustment, you always have complete control of the mix.
The SL2 has plenty of routing options too. It works great in regular mono mode but things get more exciting when using the two outputs and seven different output modes.
Stereo Output Modes:
• Fixed (Default)—Sends the same direct/effect mix to both outputs.
• EFX/Direct—Sends the effect sound to Output A and the direct sound to Output B.
• Random—A stereo effect that randomly outputs the Slicer sound to the left, right, or centre.
• Ping-Pong—A stereo effect that alternately sends the Slicer sound to Output A or Output B.
• Auto—A stereo effect that smoothly pans the Slicer sound between Output A and Output B.
• 3D Cross—Advanced spatial processing moves the Slicer sound in left/right and forward/back patterns in 3D space.
• 3D Rotation—Advanced spatial processing rotates the Slicer sound in 3D space.
Fot added options you can connect an expression pedal to control knob parameters or the overall level as you perform. In addition, with the TRS MIDI input, you can sync your SL-2 grooves to a drum machine, DAW, or any other device that sends MIDI clock.
