The Shamisen is a Japanese instrument that has a unique thin twang oriental sound. See this clip for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5rs7pfZuPs
The Ravish Sitar Pedal is obviously designed to make your guitar sound like an Indian Sitar instrument, but I was wondering if there are certain settings on the Ravish Sitar Pedal where it will make your guitar sound like a Shamisen?
If not, are there products out there that make your guitar sound like a Shamisen?
Sorry, don’t have any audio or video clips, but I tried my Ravish Sitar with a Boss Metal Zone MT-2 and also with in Ibanez Tubescreamer TS-9. Didn’t like the Sitar through distortion, to me, the distortion just ruined the exotic tonal characteristics of the sitar pedal. I prefer the sitar with a clean signal, maybe with a little reverb and chorus and delay added.
I think I found out the problem. I wasn’t using the proper power supply. I was just using a genric 9v adaptor and daisy chain power supply.
Nevermind, it just suddenly decided to start working again out of the blue.
