What guitarists say...
Reviewers found the Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar to be a unique and inspiring pedal, offering a wide range of sounds beyond a typical sitar emulation. Many users enjoyed the sonic flexibility and ability to create interesting and quirky tones, particularly when combined with [delay] and [reverb] effects. While some noted that the lead voice doesn't perfectly replicate a real sitar, the sympathetic strings were praised for their realism and drone capabilities. Some guitarists found a learning curve, and a need for expression pedals to get the most out of this pedal, but ultimately found it to be a source of inspiration for creating both ambient and experimental music.
