Dear friends at Boss this sounds amazing. Can you pleassseeee make the presets available by midi program change and the controls by midi CC? This would make it a viable option for singer/songwriters and loop-musicians. We don’t have free hands to twiddle knobs between and during songs. Also electronic musicians would use the shit out of it with midi controls. Thank you!!!
@@scramblesthedeathdealer Currently, it has midi clock sync and extremely limited CC implementation. There is no preset or knob control. But the hardware is there, so there’s a fair chance it could be implemented with a firmware update. It could be an absolutely massive upgrade, but they have to be willing to do it
Bro, you played Shalamar’s A Night to Remember as sound example 3! My mom is listening to that and I stopped dead in my tracks cause I was like “Cyberattack just did this melody on a video!” No lie, you are UNDERRATED with your knowledge of how to use these pedals in videos and pulling older songs into them! Love your playing, you’re stupid inspirational to me!
Bonus points for Bizarre Love Triangle-ing.😁 Also - the last pro-tip sound reminds me of the (verse?) rhythm sound of Coldplay's 'Princess of China.' Always liked this sound but never knew how to achieve it. Going to give it a shot one day.
this was a no-brainer EDIT: SORRY, i meant that including Bizarre Love Triangle was a no-brainer. I did NOT mean to say the thing you've been wondering about for years was a no-brainer for me, I read that part of your comment later and realized my response sounded truly insane and arrogant, sorry for that.
So happy you also came to the same conclusion of using it to make on the fly drum / hi-hat patterns, I'm proud I came to an advanced conclusion on my own 😂😂. Killer jams for all the examples, well done as always 🙏🙏
I really like this video. Started utilizing my SL2 a lot more and needed a refresher on some of the cool stuff it can do. I like to go back to this video every once in a while.
The best part here is that while I love making sound effects and think that Slicer sounds great in that capacity, you are one of the only, if not *the* only, person I've seen who's made a demo of it and who can make it musical ❤
Thanks for this valuable information, my brother just got me one for my birthday. If anyone asks why they haven’t seen me this year this is the reason why.
i love those little animations, it's the sort of thing i might have tried to do years ago. i have a big enough collection of figures but not a lot of patience.
I got an SL-2 a few months back because of this video. Had never heard of it until then. It's an awesome effect. I don't even need to feel particularly inspired at the moment I start using it because something about it just induces creativity.
you are the first person who was able to explain to an electronic minus habens like me how an effect that is not a trivial pedal works ... thanks a lot 🙂 .. immediate subscription
That first guitar.... I think it had a horse head on it... I love it. That thing is wonderful. One day when I can save money again I've gotta find one. Btw... Dude. You are one of the greatest pedal demo channels. You get into them in a different way. Fucking love it.
I’ve being messing with a lot of gear that makes guitar sound like a synth lately and something that helps greatly is using your neck pickup and/or rolling the tone down. Let the filters add the harmonics basically. Nice tips; gave me some ideas.
I just ordered a Slicer while watching this clip. You have a great way of exploring these pedals and presenting them in a truly entertaining way. Thank You ! Best Wishes - John
Thanks for this demo, the setting recs in particular are helpful. I will be incorporating this pedal into my board later this week. It will be fulfilling the role my Moogerfooger MURF used to manage in my chain.
I used to do this sort of patterned gate effect back in the 90s with midi gate enabled rack effects. And you're right about playing technique with this effect. It sounds better to my ears when I pluck chords with my fingers, like a classical guitar, instead of sweeping with a pick.
Wow man super informative! I've been messing around with crazy sounds on my board and you're knowledge of what makes certain sounds sound the way they do is rad af! Will be back 4 more
Cool tips as starting points! Thank you for sharing. I've been searching for a way to achieve this kind of effect (with pedals) for years! This one, is the one that comes closer to what I want ! Thank you for the tips, will try some of them. In one of Zappa's solos records (from "Shut up and play your guitar"), there's a similar effect (kinda). He said he used 'his Blue Box' (probably custom made), but nothing comes as close as this pedal. Boss Rules again ! Take care!
This is one of your best videos. I don't think I want a Slicer or could currently afford one with cost of living blah, but it sounds great. And Boss are clearly paying attention. Ask them for an Re-2, i can recommend
Thanks for this. I've had a SL-20 for ages (got it for 20 bucks when a store was closing, scoreeee), and I know it can do some awesome things but I haven't sat down with it to mess around yet. Love your videos, they're super inspiring. Also I feel like you would like Maya's Theme from Persona 2.
Didn't knew there is an one pedal version of the original one. Midi sync via minijack, nice. Gonna get one. Btw: using an old tuner as mouse is really mind-blowing.
Thanks dude. I had fun learning that by ear, really tried to get the voicings as close as possible. It was a fun mini project during the making of this video.
I got mine in the mail yesterday. This thing is fun with a guitar but try it with a bass!! I had so much fun with a bass through this and a looper with guitar on top
Thank you for a brilliant video......shows just what the Slicer is capable of.......!!......first time on your channel...subscription added..!!....Long time guitar players like me need new paths to explore..!! Keep going..!!! Best wishes from Plymouth UK !!!
Super epic! Had the MD-200 and the Slicer was my favorite effect on it. SO PUMPED Boss made it a stand alone pedal compact with the updated features. Your demo is epic - thanks!

@@RJ_Eckie It has a tiny MIDI jack... maybe?

@@RJ_Eckie If you’re willing to spend the $$$, the MD-500 should work for this. It has the Slicer in it and has full MIDI.
My eight months old boy loves your videos.
The drum machine tip was 🤯
that one or the last one is my fave
That’s where all my old toys went. I had every single action figure you had on your video.
that’s amazing
Seriously the best pedal content creator on TH-cam.
My man here doing release videos for the biggest pedal company in the world! Totally deserved!
Just got this pedal this morning as a Christmas gift from my wife
Happy man!
Dude. That last song was mesmerizingly beautiful. Wow
Everything you do is musical, beautiful sounds

You have the absolute best gear demos... the fact that you make songs for each function/tip that totally rip is really next level
greatest DEMO on YT
Best episode of CSI I’ve ever watched
Good gravy. That Who lick is almost worth the price of admission alone.
I was really excited when I realized this pedal could do that.
Bonus points for Bizarre Love Triangle-ing.😁

@@CyberattackWorld no worries mate. Godspeed.
I always wanted an sl-20 but could never justify that price. This pedal is awesome.

man thanks for checking it out
Yes I was just looking at one of the old ones. Now I might just try one of these.
we have extremely similar music and art sensibilities. adore this channel.
Sweet lofi vibe running into the distortion like that! I have to try those settings. Thanks.
I really like this video. Started utilizing my SL2 a lot more and needed a refresher on some of the cool stuff it can do. I like to go back to this video every once in a while.
I love that Won't get fooled again intro! Best review of this pedal so far! Thanks.
This outro is fucking outrageous. It was like a fizzy san Pelegríno was poured all over my serotonin receptors 🤤
The best part here is that while I love making sound effects and think that Slicer sounds great in that capacity, you are one of the only, if not *the* only, person I've seen who's made a demo of it and who can make it musical ❤
Best review I saw so far of the usability of the BOSS SL-2. All the other review test it as a fancy Tremolo making you seasick after 5mns.
Thanks for this valuable information, my brother just got me one for my birthday. If anyone asks why they haven’t seen me this year this is the reason why.
I can tell you worked very hard on this and the result speaks for itself. Good for you man 👊🏼.
By far, the best demo of this pedal!
i love those little animations, it's the sort of thing i might have tried to do years ago. i have a big enough collection of figures but not a lot of patience.
the figures are crying out
thanks. now im sold
Oh my god. Man immediately pulls out an incredible tone AND covers "Bizarre Love Triangle"!! epic.
I got an SL-2 a few months back because of this video. Had never heard of it until then. It's an awesome effect. I don't even need to feel particularly inspired at the moment I start using it because something about it just induces creativity.
I feel the same

Fantastic demo! This pedals pretty darn unique. You said duty ha.
This is the pedal that I've been waiting for Boss to relaunch
Awesome video my dude. The Drum Machine tip is the stuff of legend.
Thanks for all the "Power Ups" . This with the BOSS SY-1 would be an epic dragon fever dream flight ....
That first guitar.... I think it had a horse head on it... I love it. That thing is wonderful. One day when I can save money again I've gotta find one.
Btw... Dude. You are one of the greatest pedal demo channels. You get into them in a different way. Fucking love it.
Nice review, and you are VERY GOOD at explaining things...would make a great professor!
You are quite funny and this was a very cool presentation of what the Sl-2 can. Thanks for sharing
Excellent and useful info all around and an awesome invitation for me to try a go at "Won't Get fooled Again" as well as you did.
Nice one!
thanks, that part was a fun challenge
The last sound example in this vid - shimmer reverb into the slicer - has to be one of the best bits of music you've made. Full song please!
Bizarre Love Triangle is such a jam. Thank you
I have the Astral Destiny and it's before my slicer and it does sound really really cool!
These covers are awesome
I’ve being messing with a lot of gear that makes guitar sound like a synth lately and something that helps greatly is using your neck pickup and/or rolling the tone down. Let the filters add the harmonics basically. Nice tips; gave me some ideas.
Nice tip! 👍
@@kjaze thx!
This is the coolest guitar fx channel so far
Is there some place where I can find more patterns to download?
that last example is exactly what the band HEALTH used on the Max Payne 3 soundtrack.
I just got a slicer and found this. Bizarre love Triangle... you have my sub

The animated videos are always even better than the review itself. Amazing! 10/10.
This was exactly the type of review that i wanted to watch for this pedal.
New sub. Thanks
Whoa! That first example with the New Order backing track blows me away! 😎🤘🎶🍻
Ever since I found this channel I’ve have never been more happier to have someone to explain my favorite brand petals 🤟🤙🤘 boss❤
Wow man super informative! I've been messing around with crazy sounds on my board and you're knowledge of what makes certain sounds sound the way they do is rad af! Will be back 4 more
You got me fooled again, I’m sold.
Wicked video, dude. You've answered a number of questions for me, as well as some I didn't even know I wanted to ask.
Thanks bro - I just bought this and have been kind of perplexed by it. This helps a LOT. 🙏

Best video I’ve seen on this pedal. Thank you.
I never knew it could get that weird! Not you the pedal, well maybe a bit of both! lol AWESOME VIDEO!
Subbed, I have a SY-1 and probably shouldn’t score a Slicer but this was such a fun vid on top of being a killer breakdown, thanks!
This is one of your best videos. I don't think I want a Slicer or could currently afford one with cost of living blah, but it sounds great. And Boss are clearly paying attention. Ask them for an Re-2, i can recommend
Maaan, even though the pedal is really cool and fun, I loved that your review & examples made it even more fun! I love it

Very cool. Thanks.
Dancing action figures got my sub. lol. So great. I'm very interested in this pedal and you broke it down perfectly. Thanks.
I played w a guy who had a slicer in a stereo rig...breathtaking
This is great. Now I want a slicer. Thanks.
Brilliant.
Great video!
So excited to dig into what this can do
New Order!!! Loved that playing.
No one like @Cyberattack to showcase a guitar fx pedal. @Boss agrees too! Awesome stuff indeed.
You NAILED the intro to Won't Get Fooled Again! Wow.
Thanks dude. I had fun learning that by ear, really tried to get the voicings as close as possible. It was a fun mini project during the making of this video.
@@CyberattackWorld Bro... bro... how can I convince you to do a little follow-up video to demonstrate how you did that WGFA synth part? Was awesome!
@@JuanDeSoCal I would love to do that, maybe I’ll put it on Instagram or something
I got mine in the mail yesterday. This thing is fun with a guitar but try it with a bass!! I had so much fun with a bass through this and a looper with guitar on top
This might be your best video yet
that's awesome, thank you. I tried to nail it because a Boss release video is a big deal for me
wow great video
Thank you for a brilliant video......shows just what the Slicer is capable of.......!!......first time on your channel...subscription added..!!....Long time guitar players like me need new paths to explore..!! Keep going..!!! Best wishes from Plymouth UK !!!
Genius.
It is indeed the best thing I have ever done!!!
Awesome stuff. #5 is just lovely, I'm sold on this technique.
Excellent video!
I didn't realise I needed a slicer until now
The new order bit was perfect,
Super epic! Had the MD-200 and the Slicer was my favorite effect on it. SO PUMPED Boss made it a stand alone pedal compact with the updated features. Your demo is epic - thanks!
Man, you don’t phone in videos. Good stuff.
Super inspiring! The drum machine hack was great!
w.w.g.f.a sounded awesome!
thanks my lord, I am now enlightened
Eye candy. Thank you for this
Cyberattack picked up where young Knobs left off
Now that's how you slice. Nice!
You are the boss!
