Nick Reinhart : Giving Effect Pedals Some Context : Boss SL-2 Slicer

this guy likes to talk a lot

So what's the deal with bleeping out and blurring Behringer?

WTF? Another waste of 18 minutes on Perfect Circuit! If I would have watched this before I bought my Slicer, I wouldn't have. It's a lot more awesome than Nick demos.

God love nick! More videos. Please!

This guys my hero

Tera Twin / Aphex Melos

I love how this demo for 1 pedal grew into setting up a whole bank of equipment. THIS is the demo I wanted to see. I have a hard time believing this pedal is just so plug and play like other demos make it out to be and this video addresses it. Thank you.

Where’s your Mueller shirt?

You spent more time talking than showing the product

Love your processor, err,I mean process!

This is a very complex pedal. I have watched several videos about it and realized that it can produce wonderful or hideous results depending on WHO is using it, because this is one of the rare pedals that you can't just drop it in your pedal board and start using. At least not if you want to do decent stuff. Instead it demands a lot of efforts and experiments until finding a pleasant result. This is one of the reasons why I still didn't buy one.

Why the hell did you bleep behringer? 🤷‍♂️

May as well just plug in a $10 1980’s factory preset bontempi keyboard for those sounds 😂

Thanks to Nick and his guttermouth, I had to have a long talk with my kids about what B*****ger is and why we don't use that word in polite conversation.

Nick Reinhart is the raddest!!!

You have this weird archetype sound coming from your audio in this video. I would suggest rolling off that strange, high frequency noise that only dogs can hear, and apparently myself.

I need this color…I mean pedal

Nick should be solely responsible for demo videos for all pedals for all times forever and ever and also forever, Amen.👽🌈👾

Music should make you feel something or take you somewhere in time. This took me back to the option selection screen of an SNES game when I was a kid. Love everything Nick does.

So for about $4000 you can make the sound track for Napoleon Dynamite

Nick is one of those guys who is far more important to the gear world than anyone realizes

Just a get a synthesizer I’m not sure how you could use this in a musical context unless cheesy 80s cover band.

Thank you for censoring for my fragile ears and eyes

Im calling this bad Seinfeld Music..lol wow.

If Nick has taught me anything, it's that faith in developing the weird thing makes great art

It became painfully obvious that the slicer belongs in a garbage can about half way through. I had hopes you were going to make sense of this “useless effect”. But only proved to me, that it is absolute garbage. Lol

This is so funny ridicoulus. To make use use of a Boss Slicer, simply add gear worth over 1000 bucks to it. Than play a guitar, but turn the whole rig into a pro synth-desk, where the guitar acts as a midi-type input controller. And than loop the hole thing, so it plays itself. 😂🥳

Leans on desk.... I generally don't watch demos with no headstock guitars but when I do it's this.

never change Nick

This is great fun! 😂

We missed you ,Nick ❤️🤟

The jam literally sounds like Fuck Buttons!

I'm old. The "90s" guitar-into-Slicer sounded much less corny to me than the 80s-esque synth pedal/drum machine combo. 😂

Huh....I always thought wizards were supposed to wear pointy hats....

Good stuff as always Nick!

Raw guitar sounded best. My rule is if you want keyboard sounds…..use a friggin keyboard. The kids like synths more than guitars nowadays anyways😆

Well, after all that, raw guitar into the Slicer ftw.

So it is a square wave tremolo with the depth set to max

Finally, a video that shows what this thing can actually do.

Now try SY-1 > Ring mod > SL-2 > distortion

The only thing I've to complain about BOSS and SL-2 is that after 4 weeks of wasting time trying to figure out the MIDI problem about CLOCK and all the stuff, the fact is that SL-2 works ONLY with BOSS MIDI to TRS owner cable like "Yes we said it's MIDI, same jacks, same pins, but not precisely the INTL STANDARD that it's should be, you know, just a couple of inverted PIN just to make you buy out 25 bucks BOSS cable"

Lol why do they bleep the B company?

Love Nick's brain burps! (What's the deal with the B***** censoring? I'm out of the loop on that one.)

Thank you for censoring B****r. Children may be watching this video.

Makes me miss pedals and effects!!!!

i am legally obligated to watch every video of nick playing with pedals

so we are all just gonna pretend like this boicot on behringer is real while having a fake model D and crave and whatnot?

Beginning guitar players be wary; You can fuck up your neighbors.

Nick Reinhart Masterclass When?

Sounds like New Order circa ‘86
