I love the way it gets way more trippy than your standard tremolo. It's like all those crazy sounds TG got on their Gristlisers, that you just can't dial in at home. Great demo of a great pedal.

[@octavarium008]

I just got a TR-2 recently and I'm still deciding whether or not if it would be redundant to buy this when I already have a decent tremolo. And the fact that this pedal is less than $200 makes it extremely tempting to acquire one.

[@spacebass79g98]

Do it bro. I have a Pulsar, Nightwire, Humminbird, and Tremotron and I’m definitely getting this.

[@growskull]

its not redundant to have a slicer and tremolo they each have seperate uses

[@markferguson3745]

@@spacebass79g98 Would have thought the Tremotron alone just about covers it.That is certainly a commitment to the effect type; maybe a good Univibe or Phaser would be refreshing?

Is there a big difference between this SL200 and the original SL20??

[@NobodyNewsNetwork]

I play guitar for myself. I mostly do caveman riffs, and enjoy making weird noises and soundscapes. But, even I don't think I can do anything with this thing! Other than Omar Rodriguez Lopez idk of anyone else who use the slicer. He tends to do volume swells with it. I'm guessing you can use the extra inputs and outputs as an effects loop. Like putting a fuzz in the loop so when you kick on the slicer you get both.

[@numskul]

I use a signal blender, so I’m gonna put mine in my A chain and then blend it in with B and Dry to give it all an additional rhythmic texture. If you knock it back a bit, it just folds in with the drums and bass.
