Boss Slicer alternatives?


Recommended Posts

Are there any pedals that do similar things to a Slicer?
I'm not really interested in presets, just tap and that real quick (adjustable) delay result

The reason I ask is because the Slicer is bloody huge lol

Not that are cheaper or smaller.

Moog Murf and Adrenalinn are the main rivals, however they are the same size (or bigger) and cost a lot more!

The only other one is the CoPilot Gyroscope, its cheaper and very small, but I'm told it totally kills low end tone and recalling settings is a nightmare and the knobs are very sensitive AND it has no tap tempo :) The Slicer is the best for size and price on an all round basis... And I'm selling mine - convenient!

Shep, the Gyroscope seems to have a tap?!

Ah... It seems there are 2 versions! I'd never seen the 2 footswitch version before. That version also has an extra knob on it. The version I've seen lots of demos of does not have the tap.

Still not as useful as something that has clearly defined presets though...

I can reccommend the Bass Murf for choppy sequency stuff (& more), but it is a big box & not cheap, so a bit of a pointless post from me. :)

I feel you might be right

Hmmm.... could I cut one in half? :)

Yes - but it wouldn't work, and if it did you'd of cut the tap tempo off! Man up and buy a Slicer or Murf!

Hmmmm, are you using a Murf instead of your Slicer now then?

Just sit I next to your board. It's non slip rubber on the bottom and robust enough!

I'm not using a murf, but am using the LFO section of my MO-201 to drive my various pedals with slow sample + hold waves to create similar effects! I am planning to add a Midi Murf one day though.

I'm a big fan of the Slicer though. I'm just determined to reduce my setup.

Not yet :)
Got my Slow Gear (yeah I got an old Boss one) to go on first, then I'll see what space I can muster.
Think I'll need a new power supply first, only got 5 outputs from my Juicy Lucy

There's lots of options, but a Johnny Shred freak/Diago should be fine for the size of your board.

Although if you go for the Moog then you'll need to use it's own power supply or some special adapters...

Believe it or not, the Bass Murf is happy to run off a daisychain & has no noise at all! I was hugely surprised. It does need to draw 300mA though.

And reverse polarity!

Forgot about that bit :)
I have a reverse polarity cable on the daisychain for the Murf as the other 2 pedals in the chain are - tip.
All run from a Godlyke Powerall.
