Boss SL-2 Slicer
The BOSS SL-2 Slicer effects pedal chops your sound into unique percussive patterns—including many processed with internal filters and effects—and provides multiple output options that bring grooves to life across the stereo field. Evolved from the classic SL-20 Slicer, the SL-2 offers expanded capabilities while shrinking the size to a pedalboard-friendly, compact format. Take your tone to new levels with 88 onboard patterns, and tap into hundreds more via the BOSS Tone Studio app. Use the knobs to tweak audio slices on the fly, and sync to songs with tap tempo and MIDI. Fun and easy to use, the SL-2 Slicer brings fresh musical power to all types of creators, from guitarists and keyboardists to loop performers, DJs, beatmakers and beyond.
