Labelling the Electro Harmonix Ravish Sitar as anything less than revolutionary is harsh. Few instruments can compare with a Sitar in terms of harmony and dynamic flexibility and Electro Harmonix have quite literally made it possible to transform any electric or bass guitar into an authentic sounding sitar. It’s a truly unique concept allowing you to play representative scales, tones and even customising your own.
The Ravish Sitar works by using a polyphonic lead voice, with sympathetic string drones that can be altered to suit the player and react dynamically to the notes played. The sympathetic keys can even be chosen from the guitar itself, to edit the tone of the Ravish Sitar you are blessed with a range of controls. Modulation control of drone notes can be altered aswell as the decay speed on the lead sound. Two expression pedals allow the player volume control and also the expression to bend lead note pitch at will.
For live performances or on the move playing the Ravish Sitar really is great in terms of high quality sound for convenience, it contains independent mixing and features 9 user presets so you’re always ready. And when you get right down to it, It’s cheaper than buying a Sitar, you don’t need to learn a new instrument, it sounds great and it fits right into you’re pocket. If you like the Sitar but don’t want to commit buying one; it’s a no brainer.
