The BOSS SL-2 Slicer audio pattern processor is a pedal that defies categorization. Join Don Carr for a sample of how this little box can chop, screw, and twist audio into complex rhythms and grooves. The SL-2 takes inspiration from BOSS’s original SL-20 pedal but shrinks the SL-20‘s footprint significantly. There are five ways to slice signal - single, dual, tremolo, harmonic, and SFX - along with 11 rhythms options, tempo controls, tap tempo, MIDI in, expression/control in, stereo I/O, and a dedicated BOSS app for accessing additional patterns and effects. Check it out!

that was teh WORST pedal demo i've ever seen! WOW!
I feel like i still know almost none of its sounds, for instance!
Arigato, Don! Super demo.
I like how the guitar , the revv and the slicer pedal all match colours in this clip
Oh this is on my Christmas list for this year. My synths will sound beautiful through this pedal. Great video.
pedals like this that give off glitchy textural and rhythmic modulation are right up my alley :) Gonna have to add this one to the wishlist :)
I hope BOSS someday releases plugins for DAW like Roland Cloud does. The slicer is so creative.
Got the old one. Will NEVER give away. I sync my guitar with the midi equipment. Heaven.
Turn on captions, guys! You know a piece of gear is cool when the sound it makes translates as “laughter”!! To wit: 00:21. That’s a sure sign this pedal is a winner! I’m buying one strictly to use with synths. Thanks, Sweetwater, for another beautiful video, and an excellent demo. Cheers all. Happy slicing!
On its way, can't wait!!! 👍🎸👍
Great vid, fantastic sound and the pedal is stunningly flexible.
Great addition! Keep in mind that the Boss MD-500 has the original SL-20 fully integrated, including full MIDI implementation and syncing - the SL-2 has that via TRS, too. Boss is so impressive!!
Great info .. thanks ✌️
Thanks for demonstrating the CTRL / EXP effect!
Awesome stuff. I already hear those epic ambient tunes that come out of this, DD and RV.
I'll forever regret not picking this up while I still worked at a music shop. Its Such a great pedal 🤌🤌🤌🤌✨️✨️✨️✨️
This as a guitar pedal... perhaps, occasionally. As a synth pedal?! ALL. DAY.
Yup!! Already heard this on Bass. OMG! And yes; I can see this on synths! ALL DAY!!!😌🎹🎶👍🏾
Why not both? Run a boss bass synthesizer and slicer together on your guitar
Couple this with a synths arpeggiator and you get some crazy patterns.
Its the pedal i needed for a genre that didnt exist....electro-dance METUHL....many a disgusting tracks will be made...when i stop being lazy and put my recording setup back in play...lol
@@smokestakzLet’s hear it brother! 🙌💯
I'm still a new-ish guitar player, trying to learn about pedals and effects. I may not understand all the ins and outs of this thing, but I do know that I need it and I will learn everything I can when I get my hands on it. Excellent demo!
Make sure you get a good delay and reverb if you get the Slicer..You will be amazed at the soundscapes you will get..
Pedals are the beginning of a great thing. If you’re into pedals, you gotta get into shoegaze
I've been waiting for this since seeing the direction BOSS was going with the Space Echo stompbox 😁
Just ordered mine today can’t wait
So thankful to have stumbled across this video. I've loved slicers from the moment I first heard the effect on a multieffects board I had years ago, and have been looking on/off since for a designated slicer effects pedal where I could control and hone that effect in in more detail. This is awesome!! Thanks for the demo, it was well done and very helpful!
Same here! Hey, just out of curiosity, are you planning to use the Slicer as a guitar effect, or as a synthesizer effect? Maybe both? I’m going to use mine mainly on synth stuff. I just wonder what others are doing with this cool pedal. It has so much potential! Just loads of real texture. Cheers!
@@AndySalinger33 I've only ever used one as a guitar pedal. You can cover sooooooo many creative bases, however I found that it's particularly fun when you have overdrive on as well. 👌
To add though, I imagine it would sound awesome on a synth. 😎
@@madeline906 right on. 👍😃
I love that guitar.
Didn't think I needed another pedal but he we are. Let's hope it's on sale for black Friday
Good review, thanks for putting this together.
SO stoked about the MIDI sync. Hope it's moving toward being a standard on Boss pedals.
I'm having a huge letdown with MIDI sync, in that mine doesn't sync. I love Boss generally, but the SL-2 has been a letdown in that department. And there's no way to talk to a Tech and figure out whether I'm doing it wrong or I just got a doinger. I would still recommend the SL-2 for home recording as it's a really unique Unit. I just don't see how you would use it Live.
Made me think of a synthesizer on sample & hold (different wave shapes).
Sounds great!
Great track AJL using this incredible Synth¡! kudos dude
Damn that PRS ❤
The stereo movement is cool.
I always said "If they make the Slicer smaller, I would buy it".. .. Well here we go again. I said the same thing about MIDI for the DECO and they did that too. I got the DECO V2 earlier this week, slightly used from , dig this, Mike Hermans! He made me a good deal on it too! Sometimes it's just lucky like that. If I get a Slicer, I'll get it from Sweetwater.
That sounds amazing. Now I want to hear someone feed something more traditional like a violin or a trombone through that pedal. I hope they'll sound as wicked as I imagine them to be.
That’s a really nice sound. I don’t typically like “gimmicky” pedals like this….but, it’s got some great texture, and ambience, for those of us who don’t want the burden of something as in-depth as a synth setup.
Check out the Zombee by Beetronics- or the Swarm- nothing gimmicky about them- but they're by far the craziest, funniest pedals I've ever seen or heard. I used to think crazy, over the top stuff like this was gimmicky- until I started listening to some of the art created with them- in the right hands, they're amazing. I can't do anything with some of these crazy fuzz pedals- but Jack White can. Someone like Thomas Dolby comes along and they're going to be like a kid in a candy store nowadays.
@@stoneysdead689 I'll check them out....thank you 👍
Brother, this is as far from gimmicky as it gets you’re just to old to see it’s use. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not classic rock.
The "tremelo" mode is not gimmicky, and really a very cool trem pedal on its own. I find lots of the sounds in thing "gimmicky," but there is lots of flexibility within the realm of the more conventional that demos of this unit do not highlight.
I like the green. Almost tremolo like
I think I need this pedal.
The midi clock in is an amazing addition to a guitar pedal.
turns your powerchords into techno
Great personality Mr Don Carr 👩 👍
Awesome !!!!!!!!!
I could definitely see this being useful with a synth. For guitar, I think I'd want to use it with a momentary switch.
That would be cool .The SY-1 has a hold feature that I use a lot .I can totally see a momentary being a sweet feature for this.
So chill…
Great! You can play How soon is now from this pedal
A fuzz going into it would sound pretty cool
That's what I immediately thought of
Sound @1:27 reminds me of some producer Trevor Horn trickery on Seal’s records 25 years ago. Nice.
Imagne this a Strymon Cloudburst 😋 I need this and the Chase Bliss Mood
Finally!!!!
Cool beans!
Had the Original,, wish I'd spent more time with it, as a Bassist, I can NOW see the benefits..
Great pedal! The singing helicopter. What I really like here are the chord choices. Perfect for this demo. Also that trans blue PRS is well cool. Nice one! 🎶🌟👍
This is what belongs in your delay pedal's fx loop if it has one. Trust me.
Was the Ox Box also acting as a splitter to enter the Slicer in stereo? Or was it also connected to the effects send on the Mesa?
😎👍💓🇺🇸🎸 LONG LIVE PRS!!!
RELIC FREE SINCE 1985!
Just got mine and holy shit it’s awesome … trust me run two Amps set up in stereo and it will blow your mine then pair it with an octave fuzz … mind blown ….
Nice pedal, tremolo on steroids. I like the Zvex similar concept, the Sonar. It does a lot of this and uni-vibe.
Great Video. I have one and it won't synch to MIDI. Do you find that you have to Tap Tempo or use the Tempo knob to try to get it close to a drum track? I may just have a bad unit, but my drums and my SL are not on speaking terms.
One of these, a Swarm by Beetronics, a Zombee by beetronics, and a Lore by Walrus- and you've got psychedelic ambience for days.
We have a slicer dicer in our kitchen but in sounds totally different don
Don, at 2:27, I thought we were getting a bit of Vandenberg Burning Heart. ❤️🔥
Sweet guitar Don!
@UCwv7PuMdN92FDY0PaZC1MXg That's phishing spam impersonating Sweetwater.
Wow great pedal, more than one tremolo on a different settings
This would sound cool going through my Arturia Microfreak and Bass guitar 😁
3 of these in series would really slice up your sound. Add the Korg pedal to it and you have fun 😂
Great, so with this pedal I can play EDM with my guitar.
This probably makes the SY-1 erupt 🤯
Don, can you explain how you are getting a stereo spread with the Ox? Are you putting it in between the outs and the interface? Thanks for your great work!
Hey Jeff, thanks for the kind words! Amp in mono to OX, stereo out of the OX to stereo in of the SL-2, direct to my UA Apollo Twin interface. The SL-2 has very flexible IO.
Thanks again,
D.C.
This is some serious EHX style stuff from Boss. Imagine this with Shimmer....ahhhhhh....(sips drink and closes eyes)
Well damn. Looks like I'll finally be able to properly play "No Escape From Heaven" by Curve now.
Good decision!
hi sir, I was actually about to get boss sl-20 but then found that its been discontinued and replaced by boss sl-2... are they doing the same thing? also there is a Bank setting on sl-20 but couldn't see this setting on this newer version? how is that going to be adjusted? is there anything that the boss sl-20 have this one doesnt?
Interesting
Like a stutter pedal with extra steps. I can see a few uses for this one.
So, other than the USB connection and presets, it’s essentially an SL-20 in a smaller package? What about output options (ping-pong, pan, etc.)?
Hi, stockholm17. Aside from the smaller format, there are some nice additions to the SL2 that the original SL20 didn’t have. For one, having the ability to connect it with MIDI, so it can easily be synced with a pedal switcher, keyboard rig, or even a DAW for mix effects. Also, the Tone Studio app is a big advantage to this one since you can much more easily customize the sounds you’re getting. It also offers seven stereo output modes. Essentially it’s an SL20 that doesn’t take up nearly as much space and adds all the features that most users thought that pedal was lacking.
Thanks for your interest!

Back is sus right now but im excited to put my slicer in stereo into my jc40....stereo slicery plus that lush stereo chorus of the jazz chorus...could open a gateway...idk yet.
Sick! I need to try that. I just got a JC40, but curious about the slicer.
This is definitely for new modern Alternative music
It's for anything you want really. First of all you can use this as a really crazy arpeggiator for synths and come up with really cool riffs in any genre... as demonstrated here too :)
@@jas_bataille yea that’s cool but it’s really a souped up tremolo pedal honestly…… I rather use the arpeggiator on board my synthesizer….. The reason I say it’s for alternative is because they do cool spacious sounds with their guitars…. But it’s music so everyone is their own mad scientist in the lab….. if you want a real crazy arpeggiator pedal you should look into Banana Effects Tararira
I have to wonder how this compares to the Electro-Harmonix Super Pulsar. It sounds great, regardless.
For me, I'd rather use the EHX Super Pulsar with very similar rhythmic functions (Custom rhythms and presets for them) plus a really full-featured tremolo besides. It is a fair bit bigger and a bit more expensive (except used can be had for cheaper than the SL2)
Slava Mike
I was thinking the same thing.
Is there a big difference between this SL200 and the original SL20???
FINALY, BOSS!!! It’s impossible to find the old Slicer where I live. Is it as potent as the old one?
Probably goes without saying that comment is a scam
@@matthewharrison7868 there was a comment advertising a giveaway pretending to be the channel that posted the video. I guess it was removed after others and I reported it.
In my humble opinion, it sounds like if a tremolo and Delay Pedal had a baby.
Just got mine! (From Sweetwater, of course!) I'm wondering if I can sync it to my DAW, BPM-wise... (Studio One 6 ((also from Sweet H2O))) I assume it can be done through MIDI, but I'd need a special cable? ) (and a lot more knowledge!) I notice you mention the USB connection. It would be great if that also work as a BPM sync! Just wonderin'.....
Hi, Michael! Thanks for your message, Happy Holidays.
The TRS MIDI input accepts a signal for clock sync. USB is for the upload of new patterns.
Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

Is it possible to get a simple tremolo?
Is there a big difference between this SL2 and the original SL20???
could be cool with a synth aswell :)
I've always wanted a tremolo pedal that worked like this. Have there been other over the years that existed before this?
Boss made a duo pedal slicer like more than a decade ago? But not as flexible as this. There was also the zvex seek trem. Not sure if ehx made something similar. I think you could maybe sequence some ehx tremolo pedals with control voltage to do same effect.
@@BatteryCoverMissing thanks!
Check out the Adrenalinn pedal - designed by the legend Roger Linn and really influential!
O SNAP!
I want one
Is it possible to have just square tremolo ?
Cool. Always thought about getting one but thought so long they were discontinued. Haven't always had luck with used gear finding that combo of good price and good condition I'm after, plus the original became more rare as time has gone on! BUT I have a couple questions... First would be, is there a bigger version in the works like what they did with the Space Echo? Second, is there anything actually new about this aside from the smaller footprint which doesn't much matter to me since I'm not a guitar player with a board?
This is the squished down version of the SL-20(which is discontinued). I played both and personally I think the original is much more user friendly and I love the looping option on the old one because it automatically syncs up instead of having to time your step on the pedal perfectly.
@@mr.mcmagpie6606 figures... oh well i guess i put the first one off since i have synths with arpeggiators already and haven't played guitar much in a long time.
i hope they make a bigger one like they did with the verb
@@mr.mcmagpie6606 now i wonder if this issue can't be solved by using the midi... would hope clock is one of the functions.
It's basicly LFO tool in guitar pedal
In addition to all the other cool stuff it does, could you use this as a regular, old-fashioned tremolo? I’m interested in one, but I’m wondering if it would be worth selling my Boss tremolo pedal to help fund it.
Hi, Jared! Thanks for your message, Happy New Year!
There is a “Tremolo” setting on the SL-2. That said, it’s not exactly the same as the TR-2. If you want the best of both worlds, the Slicer is the more versatile option.

Would be bonkers with a delay and chorus…
Excellent review! Great playing, but I wouldn't really want the pedal. It's a little like the SY-300, but more compact and easier to use for half the price. Thanks for the demo though :-)
It's interesting. I own a Boss Trem but after hearing my BYOC trem I just can't use it.
In combo with a looper otherwise has limited application in terms of live use.
What’s the difference between this and the 20
ok if Don Carr uses it so will I
Sounds as the power chord in the song by Pink Floyd's Money
This might sound childish, but I find it hilarious that one of the controls is called the duty and the one right above it is called the attack control, it's just funny because controlling the attack of the duty 🤣 like I said it's a little childish of me to point that out, but it's also really funny.
Seems to be inspired by Tom Morello’s rocker switch
What's the Chopper's release date?
Sorry, but which is the "type" knob?
"any creator that wants to rhythmically manipulate audio..." yup... that's music...
Gros Beat in a pedal?
I was waiting for the “but first here’s my clean tone” 💔
