Electro Harmonix Ravish Sitar guitar pedal

[Kyussfan96]

play it with a fuzz pedal, a vibrato pedal, and a phaser pedal all at the same time!

[AparoidX]

Really good job demonstrating the versatility of this pedal! Much better job than EHX if I say so myself. I didn't even think the Koto sound could be achieved with this thing.

[ruddymuggles14]

@AparoidX

haha dude, effectology is a series done by ehx

[renangoncalvesflores]

Wow! I loved it. Not as a sitar synth, but as something to achieve new sounds not only with electric guitars, but other electric instruments as well.

@fazialpalmierung

I had a vision of myself on the guitar, wearing a paisley jacket, performing my new Beatlesque song (I will start with it right now!), with a Bolloywood choreography in the background.

[jasontylerblack]

Oh my, I have been wanting to add this sound to my band. This pedal is amazing! Thanks for this demo s far has been the most helpful

[jpearson311]

Dude that thing is sick! I bet it would sweet with a little fuzz/distortion mixed in with it. I want one!

@TheEnricoRosExp What song?

[KilledTheFixtion]

Does this effect run better through the effects loop or straight to the front of the amp??

[Effectology]

@KilledTheFixtion

I have not tried it in a loop.

[KingTabor]

this one could deliver the Metheny's vibe/tone on LAST TRAIN HOME?

Is an expression pedal required for the glissando note transitions?

The drone strings are synthesized but is the lead voice a synth representation of the note being played, or is it the actual note but highly filtered and effected?

Do the drone tones always sound in the same proportion, or do the tones that happen to be in the vicinity of the lead note being played get louder as they would in a real instrument?

[Effectology]

@1Doz Yes you need an expression pedal.

The lead voice is not a triggered synth, its your guitar.

The drone notes can be imputed to resonate in what ever range you want.

[1Doz]

@Effectology

THanks for the reply. Let me rephrase my last question in something like readable English. Is the volume of the drone notes relative to each other fixed, or can particular notes get louder if they happen to be near the pitch of the lead note? In other words, can you sort of emphasize individual drone notes with your lead notes.

I can't believe how cool this pedal sounds. Hats off to the designers.

[Effectology]

@1Doz

Yes, the sympathetic notes are not at a fixed volume .

The do get louder if they happen to be near the pitch of the lead note.

The freeze drone is like the freeze, that is fixed.

Excellent Video and Great pedal ? what if You played a electric sitar in to the Ravish Sitar (and other EHX pedals add to or detract from ? dumb question but I saw a decent priced (real) electric sitar and there (were) Jerry Jones Retired now his Sitars the original Coral sitars are wow in price I think Rogue made a inexpensive one also just thinking THANKS Bill!

[Effectology]

@dwwavek

I would have to try it to see! It could sound very cool.

I just saw Jerry Jones retired,how sad. He is a great builder and a great guy.

I used his longhorn in today's video. Its such a great guitar!

[Decubuntu]

George Harrison would kill for this pedal... You guys were just too late to make him happy

[youenjoy00myself]

Awesome pedal and great review! Really showed off the numerous capabilities of the pedal and how to achieve different sounds.

[johnnythewonderfly]

This is definitely gonna find it's way onto Andrew VanWyngarden's pedal board.

[saatwikkatiha]

Intro from one of those early 60's Hindi movies!!! ROFL!!!

BTW what they're actually saying is not even close to what the subtitles suggest xD

Incredibly cool pedal, though!

[mellifiedman23]

Bought a Ravish pedal online about three minutes after hearing these demos. These effectology demos are so educational and informative and have been a real asset for me personally as both a sample and a template. LOVE 'EM!!! 

[Ombrenuit]

Ridiculously impressive. Most other sitar simulators I've heard sucked terribly. I was not expecting this demo to go well.

[tubescreamin74]

I got one on the way! I effing can't wait!!!

[cdeization]

Can you do a hog -> ravish sitar -> pog video? (plus a couple freezes) Or some kinda similar drone madness? :)

[seanmitchell88]

really cool



[MrCraigary123]

I LOVE it

[FrugalGuitarist]

Fantastic demo really showing the potential of the pedal. High on my gas list!

[cyprescrow]

Bloody awesome box....I will get myself one as soon as they are on the shelf here in sweden....

[mbartolomei]

One more astonishing pedal sonic exploration video! Keep on good working, Bill!!!

[Jule553648]

EHX, PLEASE make a pedal that makes a bad guitar player sound good!

[SuperBenzid]

@Jule553648 Its called a cd player you don't even need a guitar to play it

[juliandunn]

@Jule553648

They already did, it's called the Big Muff.

[kulamonks]

This is a must have pedal for any self respecting old Hippy,that's me and I can't wait to get my hands on one.Peace and Love.

[kepedize]

great teenage wasteland cover :)

[mekayamaneo]

[countwolfram]

Girl undressing at the beginning is great dancer Helen - she's got many weird and faboulous numbers (best are from the 60's) here on YT

[Wahwahfighter]

[cosmogang]

WEll snap. That tune mode is pretty ingenious.

[Aristotish]

Teenage Wasteland? I like!
