well it IS a copy of a dano sitar, so...


Indeed, it's the same finish as the old Rogue and Coral (Dano) ones. http://6stringdeals.files.wordpress.com ... itar-1.jpg

So wait, I've been wanting to get one of these and an EHX Freeze, but on that first demo posted in here there was a short part where the guy was using a freeze function on the Ravish, or am I just dumb? I know that the Freeze is a simple concept, so it wouldn't surprise me if they included it in this pedal, but I'm curious if it just holds the drone of the sympathetic strings, or if you could use the Ravish in the same. exact. way. that you use the Freeze. ]

Can anyone help me out with this? If I can get away with just buying the Ravish Sitar as opposed to buying it AND the Freeze, obviously I'd like to do that. Thanks in advance.

It looks like you can Freeze what you are playing if I'm reading correctly...

What are you trying to do with it???

It plays Sympathetic Drones automatically based off what you are playing...
