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!

Expression

Expression pedals allow real-time control over specific parameters on compatible guitar pedals, such as volume, delay time, modulation depth, or filter sweep. Used with an expression input, they let players shape effects dynamically with their foot, adding movement and performance control that cannot be achieved with fixed knob settings.

MIDI

MIDI pedals use the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard to communicate with other guitar pedals, effects units, and hardware. They allow control over presets, parameters, and switching across multiple devices from a single controller. MIDI integration makes it possible to build complex, synchronised pedal setups while keeping control simple and consistent.
