Features

Few instruments have the flexibility and richness of the sitar. Electro-Harmonix has used the latest technology to condense the sitar sound into a pedal-sized instrument. It also supports chords, and the sympathetic drone responds dynamically to your playing. Drones are long, single notes that are essential to traditional Indian music. You can customize the scale of the sympathetic strings to match the resonance of the strings as the main note decays.

It has two EXP pedal inputs, one for changing the pitch of the tonic note and the other for adjusting the volume of the sympathetic strings. By using these controls, you can play it as naturally as a real sitar.
