Description

The Boss SL-2 Slicer is an inspiring creative tool packed with colourful sonic grooves and rhythmic energy. It works by "slicing" up your sound into unique percussive patterns, many of which include internal filters and effects, adding a new dimension to your rig. An evolution of the famous SL-20 Slicer, the SL-2 offers expanded capabilities in the smaller, pedalboard-friendly Boss compact format you know and love. The SL-2 elevates your performances with 88 onboard patterns with the option to tap into more via the Boss Tone Studio app. Tweak slices on the fly and sync to songs via the tap tempo and MIDI functions. Mostly importantly though, the SL-2 is fun and easy to use, opening up a wealth of creative options to guitarists, keyboardists, DJs, beatmakers, and more!
