A Modern Nod to the Golden Age of the Sitar... Without Changing Your Instrument
The sitar has marked the history of psychedelic rock, pop, and cinematic music with its rich harmonic buzzing and "infinite" resonances. The Ravish Sitar doesn't just aim to imitate an exotic tone: it recreates the very logic of the instrument, with a main string (Lead) and a set of tunable sympathetic strings that resonate according to your playing.
The result: an effect that sits halfway between an acoustic instrument simulator and a guitar synth, tailored for arrangements, iconic riffs, and soundscapes.
Who Is the Ravish Sitar For?
This pedal is aimed at guitarists (and more broadly electrified instrumentalists) who want to break new ground: rock, indie, post-punk, film music, ambient, electronic... It's also formidable for creating intros, bridges, repetitive drone-style themes, or "organic" textures to layer in the studio.
In live contexts, it shines if you enjoy playing with dynamics and shaping the sound with your foot: expression controls musical parameters (pitch/volume of drone) without breaking your phrasing.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar work with an electric guitar?
This pedal is designed for electric guitar and receives the signal via a 6.35 mm mono jack input. Its 2.2 MΩ input impedance is suitable for direct connection of an instrument.
Can the drone of the sympathetic strings be separated from the main signal?
A 6.35 mm "Sympathetic Only" jack output delivers only the sympathetic strings. The main output combines the Dry, Lead, and Sympathetic signals, allowing the drone to be sent to separate processing.
How many presets can be saved?
Up to 10 presets can be stored and recalled using the Mode/Preset encoder and the Preset footswitch.
Which expression pedals are compatible with the controls of the Ravish Sitar?
Two 6.35 mm jack inputs are dedicated to expression: Drone EXP controls the level of the sympathetic strings and Pitch EXP affects the pitch bend of the Lead voice. These functions allow separate modulation of the drone and the pitch of the main voice.
What power supply is required for this pedal?
The required power supply is 9 V DC with center negative, on a 2.1 mm barrel connector, with a consumption of 160 mA. A 9.6 V DC / 200 mA adapter is included.
