New Boss pedals for December

Thom · Post by **Thom** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:23 am

Found this on the Orange forum...

DD-7 Digital Delay has stereo ins & outs, external tap-tempo which also takes an expression pedal, a 40-second looper, up to 40 seconds of recording for sound on sound, & an analog setting based off the DM-2.

SL-20 Slicer which is a rhythmic tremolo of sorts. It sports both a looper & expression pedal inputs.

Very Cool, Thom! Thanks for linking these.

I'mma watch the videos now, both look very cool actually - the DD-7 looks like a compact DD-20-a-like and the Expression Pdeal input is a long missed addition.

Yeah totally - am just loading up the vids myself

Shame there isn;t a version of the video with all the clips stuck together - however there is DEMARCO action so that makes up for it.

like you said - bit of a pain in the ass.

Only thing missing from the demo video is the Expression pedal stuff. Ho hum, looks very cool nonetheless.

It looks to be more of a "Future" Rock (Muse bleh) / Dance Guitarist pedal to me with all that MIDI sync capability and 303esque action going on.

"coloring your sliced grooves with constantly evolving tone. . .?"

I like the look of the slicer actually.

FUck you boss. I work for a year, trying to make a fucking audio slicer that will glitch out, burning my fucking fingers and breaking my mind. NOw you come out with it, looking 100 times better, having 100 times more flexibility, and itll be half the cost as mine would be. fuck you Boss.

You are going to buy it though aren't you?

slicer = growing [the band] in a single pedal. finally something that can replace my ooh wah, tremorama and murf on my board.

Is there a rule that every loop pedal must be demoed with white-boy funk?

I REALLY like the DD-7 - seems like sort of an all-in-one deal. Do you think it'll replace the DD-6 or just find its own little niche?

That slicer is looking cool. I get people all the time in my store looking for a tremolo that completely cuts the signal like a killswitch. Now I'll have something to sell them. Definitely not for me though.

I watched the video and it turns out its not what I thought it was.

Maybe, but who the fuck has heard of them? Not me.
