Ravish
The Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar is a unique guitar pedal that transforms your guitar into a sitar, offering a polyphonic lead voice and tunable sympathetic string drones. It provides extensive control over the simulated sound with selectable keys, scales, and decay speeds, along with the ability to create custom sympathetic string scales. The pedal features two expression pedal inputs for pitch bending and volume control, plus 9 preset slots for saving sounds. It can also produce a tanpura-like drone, and works well with other effects like delay and reverb.
