Quick Look: BOSS SL-2 Slicer Pedal, MIDI Sync’d Beat-Slicing Fun with Maschine!

Guitar pedals aren’t always just for guitarists, sometimes they make capable desktop FX units for beatmakers and electronic musicians, so today Mike’s taking the SL-2 for a spin with his Native Instruments Maschine . Boss’s new SL-2 Slicer follows in the footsteps of it’s bigger predecessor, the SL-20, providing MIDI sync’d beat slicing fun. Straight from the box it’s packed with a total of 88 different patterns for you to play with across 8 different effect types. But it doesn’t end there, with the software editor you can plug this pedal in to your PC via USB and make your own custom patterns! Hot Tip: There’s a neat trick on the Maschine where you can utilize the headphones output as an extra assignable stereo output, so Mike was able to pick’n’choose which tracks he wanted to go thru the SL-2 and return them via the stereo input.
