When trying different picking techniques be sure to check out different types of picks. Not just a different thickness but different materials as well. Seems that everything will produce some kind of unique quality all its own and as always “beauty is in the ear of the beholder”.
You honestly can get this pedal to sound like a real sitar?
I’ve been using some pretty good gear with this pedal (Strat, Tele, White Falcon, Rickenbacker six string, VOX AC30) and none of it is getting me to sound like a sitar. Yes, it sounds LIKE a sitar, but it would fool no one into thinking it is a real sitar.
Sounds like you have some great guitars and stuff but try concentrating on your picking technique if the sound is falling a bit short of the tone you’re seeking. You’ll be amazed with the tonal differences you’ll get with a little right hand (picking hand) nuances
I’m not sure of what gear you’re using with your Ravish but I can get a tone so close to a sitar most ears can’t tell I’m playing my guitar on the tracks
