I got to get me one of these. I love the sitar, but I have no desire to learn it. This would solve that problem, and help me play Sinisa's Around The World Series. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/around...ia_sitar_style/

This is pure magic
 I love this pedal already! I found it for 236 dollars on Amazon - any other place with a better price?

$170.00 is about as cheap as you'll find.
Used or discounted they average about $180 - $199 New - $237 -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Ken - have you tried this one? What do you think, is it worth the money? I am kind of set on getting it...

I don't have it.
It's a great effect but I find (for me) that those things get old and tiring really quickly. How often are you gonna actually use a Sitar effect? It's worth the price if you'll use it. *Keep in mind that all those (really cool) EHX demos are done by a session guitarist in a really nice studio in New York. All the 'ambient' effect on there are other pedals - Deluxe Memory Man and Holy Grail reverb (also xlnt pedals). -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Very cool!
But let's not forget our hero [from another thread] can do similar stuff without any pedals, just with a clean sound (youtube1, youtube2) Learning to do it this way will definitely provide a powerful too when building your own unique style. However I'd still love to try this pedal - but just like Ken said: I often find that extreme effects like this one are super fun the first 5 minutes, then it gets boring. |

True words here Kris - I've been always fascinated and trying out various articulation techniques, based on approaches used on the sitar or other stringed Asian instruments. In the same time, I know I might get bored with it pretty fast, especially if everything comes down to what Ken says - 'how often do you use it?' I'll just wait a bit more maybe QUOTE (Palacios @ Feb 16 2014, 04:20 AM) Alright my curiosity got the best of me. I went out and bought one. My only advice is read the instructions first. Since I've never played a sitar, and barely play a electric guitar; this pedal can be confusing. After slowly reading the instructions; this thing is badass. It sounds just like a sitar, and you can really screw with the sound. You need to get an expression pedal to get the full use of this. I still haven't figured everything out on it, but I'm having fun. I'm gonna do some of Sinisa's Around The World lessons with this. Ohoo Well mate, I hope you get the best out of this pedal! Shoot a video once you get comfy with it and let us know how you fare with it, if you feel like it, of course

She promised it without discovering that it was an expensive instrument... but now it's her promise. My promise was to learn to play it well.

I definitely need to make sure that the girl I will be with is prone to making such promises and also keeping them Here's what I found for you Gabi: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Sitar-/112677/i.html - I have no clue how to pick one up, or if you get 0 quality for this kind of money, but 200 bucks seems like a VERY reasonable price Palacios - why is your wife despising the pedal? |

I think it's because I've been practicing Sinisa's lesson over, and over again. I think it sounds really cool myself. I just need to use headphones.

Unless you find a good deal on a local, used Sitar(?) $400.00 US is about the cheapest you'll find that's playable.

Alas I do not play the sitar (though I have 'played' one).
I do know and have worked with a few sitar players though. I play with these guys and gals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=951XrgaOqZQ There's a sitar (and tabla) player in the band (sometimes) as well as on the recordings. *As you can imagine Los Angeles is an extremely multi-cultural city. There are pro players here from every corner of the world here. If you do decide to get one from a catalog get it from 'Lark in the Morning' http://www.larkinam.com/SitarIndia.html I'm sure you can find one in a shop in Argentina though(?).
