Curry in a Hurry

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 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!!!

One of a kind

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.
-However; this technically, is not exactly a one-of-a-kind stomp box. 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)

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. I have mainly used it with an acoustic guitar, setting up tamboura like sounds. It has a steeper learning curves than most pedals. I have only begin to scratch the surface of its capabilities. It reward imagination and patience.

Find a better box & I'll kiss my sister-in-law.

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.

I'm using a 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.

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...

But, lately, all the "all in one" and "modeling" and "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!

Excellent drone

I love the new Ravish pedal for one main reason, the drone (or sympathetic strings). Once you figure out the key you are playing in and kick on the drone!!! I found the sitar sounds (or lead tone knobs) a bit cheesy at times and have accepted that I won't use them much. Don't worry though, that is very much ok, use this pedal without the sitar sound and as a drone (dry + sympathetic knobs only) and you will fall in love. There's even a sympathetic out so you can send to your DAW for recording. I can't tell you how awesome this pedal is. Electro-Harmonix did well on this one, nice job!

Ravishing

This is a very nice emulation of the sitar when a real one is just not an option. The options are very comprehensive, including tuning up to 17 sympathetic strings to your own scales if you find that necessary. It's easy to switch between patches, store patches, etc. There is a large variety of different sounds available. All in all, a very well thought out pedal, and a great addition to one's rig.
