From Our Research Team:Sitar Emulation PedalDo you have a track that desperately needs a sitar? The electro-harmonix Ravish Sitar is the answer. Session sitarists are not exactly a dime-a-dozen, and with its characteristic harmonic and dynamic slipperiness, the sitar is a tough instrument to emulate with a guitar pedal. Thankfully, there's Ravish Sitar, which distills the essence of the sitar into a compact enclosure, serving up a polyphonic lead voice and tunable sympathetic string drones that dynamically react to your playing. You can create your own custom scales for the sympathetic strings and set decay time for the lead voice. Two expression pedal inputs let you simultaneously bend the pitch of the lead voice and control the volume of the sympathetic strings. Tweak Ravish Sitar's powerful controls to conjure new organic instruments. With the electro-harmonix Ravish Sitar in your palette, you might even start calling yourself "Mahavishnu."electro-harmonix Ravish Sitar Emulation Pedal Features at a Glance:

This is a magnificent pedal! This pedal not only turns your guitar into a sitar, it gives you the whole accompanyment too boot! In addition you can get so many varied sounds from this unit. It 's not ... read more [+]just a "sitar" sound. I am a very skeptical guitarist when it comes to "new" pedals, this is the one new pedal you should not be without. HIGHLY REMOMMENED!!! close [-]

Wow is a word that comes to mind when I plug this in. I couldn't stop grinning and chuckling the first time I tried this thing out.

A few other companies took a crack at the sitar effect pedal(ex. Danelectro "sitar-swami", analog.man "peppermint fuzz"), but well...how to put this nicely? They didn't really capture the "sitar" if I might say, and they just sound unpleasant to the hearing. Though I'm glad the gurus at EHX got it right. -It's doesn't exactly duplicate a sitar, but offers the second best. Or if you can't afford a good sitar; this may be a good introduction to anyone interested in adding a little Raga style to their sound. -My only problem with it, is just getting to know it... It's just a very mysterious, wonderful, little box (Don't worryThe instruction manual is accurate and human friendly, weary buyers). -Bottom line: I love it. It works, it's great. Maybe a little tough for the novice to get used to, but very fun with endless hours of entertainment. A novel pedal nonetheless. George Harrison would be proud of this pedal(I hope) close [-] Complex and Rich

This is a very interesting and unique pedal. It's subtle and deep. You have to take a considerable amount of time to get familiar with it. It's outstanding for drones.

These geniuses have done it again. It's pure fun. It's not going to fool Ravi Shankar; but I know I don't have enough brainpower to play a real sitar, so I got this. Glad I did.December 17, 2011 Music Background: I'm using a... read more [+] Squire Bullet Strat and a Fender Mustang I amp. Awesome sounds abound from this combo. Then I put a Dean Markley acoustic pickup on a 6-string tanpura (from raincitymusic.com - another outfit you can't go wrong with - and really went into the Stratosphere (pun intended). Justin, at Sweetwater extension 1391, told me my last order might take 4-5 days. I got it 2 days later before noon. Can't recommend the guy or Sweetwater enough. close [-] AMAZING and unique...

OK...I'm a pedal geek. I love em. I buy em all and I use em all. I write whole songs around each one. They can be inspirational...October 2, 2011 Music Background: writer/producer/engineer/guitarist/songwriter/vocalist, etc. But, lately, all the "all in one" and "modeling" and "... read more [+]me too" pedals have put me in a rut. I mean, how many more "Supervarmit (version deux!)" fuzz pedals do we need, no matter which company, or how big it is or how different the power supply is so we're forced to buy that ONE PS from ONLY the company that makes it in order to get a hyped up sound that just really is the same ol' same ol'? Well...those days have at least temporarily ended with this little beaut. Big, yes. Power supply included, yes, and it runs on STANDARD "Boss style" power, so it can be worked into a pedal board with ease. Sound? Stunning! This thing is an amazing sounding piece of gear right out of the box, and is intensely deep. While I'm sure it will not fool a "True" Sitarist, it does a GREAT job and can fool the "average" listener. Even so, it's just plain FUN! Write your own Bollywood soundtrack on the fly and amaze your bandmates with this thing. One of the few EHX pedals that actually needs a manual, it can be programmed to do so much to match the key, and there are expression inputs for even more control. Go to the ehx site and check out the demos there if you don't believe me! I ain't giving this one up, and I ain't had this much fun with a new pedal since I got Eventide's Delay pedal. Great stuff! close [-] Also popular
