Sitar Emulation Pedal

Do 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:
  • Turn your guitar into a sitar or other organic instrument
  • Polyphonic lead voice plus tunable sympathetic string drones
  • Create your own custom scales for the sympathetic strings
  • Set the decay time for the lead voice
  • Control pitch and volume via two expression pedal inputs
The Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar delivers amazing sounds!

Buy this pedal!!!

Ok so I've had it now for a couple of weeks and I am super impressed with this pedal! The sound is great, you can adjust just about everything, it's nice sturdy metal not cheap plastic, all the knobs are nice and easy to work. Sounds really cool with my Ibanez 12 string acoustic electric! If you want sitar sound on anything you plug in without having to own and learn the actual instrument...which I happen to own...18 strings of madness lol...then buy this pedal!!! Thanks again to Logan Miller from Sweetwater for answering all my questions and being so helpful...

Good for a showcase number!!!

While this obviously isn't a sound you are going to use on every song, it would be an awesome pedal to have to feature some sort of creative, showcase number with cool playing and sounds.

Ravish Sitar Pedal

Sounds amazingly like an electric sitar
Rated 5/5

Phenomenal

Very easy to start using right away. Sounds like the real thing, to me at least. Make sure you have plenty of reverb and maybe a little delay turned on, too, and it's perfect.

Electro-Harmonix Rocks!

This is my third Electro-Harmonix pedal and I love them all! I won't lie - there's a bit of a learning curve with each of them, but they're not difficult and the multitude of sounds they produce is amazing! Their Ravish Sitar pedal delivers that Eastern sitar sound perfectly! I already have a Danelectro 6-string baby sitar without the sympathetic strings, so this Ravish pedal supplies the sympathetic string ring sound that the Danelectro doesn't have. It's perfect!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Cody Kraus

As a huge fan of psychedelic music, I employ this pedal regularly to add an exotic, sitar vibe to my tunes. The timbre controls let me dial in the right tone and increase the sympathetic vibrations, something you can't do with an actual sitar.

Robert Williams

This is a really unique pedal capable of sounds difficult to obtain in such a small package. I find myself creating all sorts of usable tones, some "sitarish" and some not. All the options seem deep, but are easily naviagated after just a few minutes. My favorite use of the pedal uses the separate drone output only and feeds that to loopers, delays, etc. to create textural pads.
