PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Inject a shot of high-octane fuel into your music with the Boss SL20 Slicer. Instantly transform a guitar, bass, keyboard, or vocal into a pulsating groove instrument. Choose from 50 onboard Slice patterns or experiment with the SL20’s innovative Harmonic Slicer feature, which generates percussive melodies, Loop Record, and unique 3D Panning.

Features
Instant groove and percussive-melody generator

50 Slice patterns onboard, with adjustable attack and duration, including Harmonic Slice

Tap Tempo via onboard pedal switch; internal and MIDI sync

Sound characteristics such as attack, duration, effect level, and direct level are controllable via external Expression pedal (sold separately)

Variety of output modes, including the unique 3D Panning for spacious sliced FX

Groove and Melody Maker
The SL20 transforms your music into percussive “chopped” grooves. Fifty rhythmic patterns are onboard, with adjustable note attack and duration, plus amazing Harmonic Slice effects. Create high-energy patterns onstage in real-time, or use the SL20 as a songwriting and recording tool. Play the sliced sounds in realtime while capturing them with Loop Record.

Flexible Control
An internal tap-tempo feature is included, as well as the ability to sync to external MIDI clock. Sound characteristics of the SL20 such as attack, duration, effect level, and direct level can be controlled by the onboard knobs or from an external Expression pedal.

Universal FX
The SL20 is an addictive effect that inspires creativity. It’s great for guitarists, but it’s equally useful for other instrumentalists as well. Plug in a bass, keyboard, iPod®, or any other instrument or music-playback device. DJs and dance-music artists will also love the SL20 as a rhythmic-performance tool.
