reFX have announced details and a screenshot of the next version of Slayer, hopefully to be released in May 2003.

Feature highlights:

• Effect-pedals can be moved around to change the signal-processing order.
• All 16 effects (eight pre-amp, eight post-amp) can be used at the same time.
• Guitars material and size can be changed (good for acoustic sounds).
• Up and down strumming is supported (up, down, alternate and velocity).
• Two new string-types.
• Two new amplifiers.
• Two new cabinet-simulations.
• Also acts as an insert-effect, so you can feed your own signal into the effects and amp!
