Re: Help with Sitar effect by on 2007-02-27 15: The patch on the POD is just to get the most out of the sitar that is IN the Variax, it won't make a guitar sound like a sitar. Because I have the Variax I have not needed to program a sitar patch but I have used envelope filters (auto wah) to get sitar sounds out of a guitar in the past. The best one I used was the Roland 'Funny Cat' pedal, it did a pretty convincing sitar. If I had the time I'd build a patch for you but, alas, too busy this week. It's more fun building patches for yourself anyway because you'll get to know how the effects work at a much deeper level. But, here's a few tips. Get a very clean amp model (no cab and add some 'room') then start experimenting with the Auto Wah stomp with a dash of chorus modulation effect.
You will need to play with the EQ a fair bit to get the top end twangy buzz type sound. Take some time and you'll get something that will resemble a sitar. Cheers, Crusty. Re: Help with Sitar effect by on 2007-02-27 19: here is something that sort of sounds like sort of something sitarish maybe.
It's a patch that uses the Auto Swell & Reverse Delay to get the flavor-sitar always sounds like a backwards guitar to me. The patch and clip were done very quickly just to see if it was even worth looking further. I tried using the Auto Wah which has more of that sitar twang but, because there is no Mix parameter, i felt it was too overwhelming so i went back to the Auto Swell. There are a couple of Synth patches that might be of use also but, because they are mono, you can't drone with them. If you get the technique of the drone and locking in with the delay just right it can sound good-not well represented in the sample.

Apparently you can only attach one file so i'll follow up with the Patch which you can play around with.
You are not going to be able to get the sound you want from your stock acoustic guitar. There are two particularly important elements that contribute to the sound of a sitar. One is the unique design of the bridge, which creates a buzzing sound, and the other is the presence of many additional sympathetic strings. In order to get this sound from an acoustic guitar, you would have to dramatically rebuild it from inside out.
This would not be practical. There are professional Indian musicians who have done this with a guitar. Here are some pictures I found in a Google search.
All those extra tuning pegs are for the extra strings that have been added, and the guitar had to be massively reinforced to handle the tension of all those extra strings. Also, these examples are usually played with a bottleneck slide, not fingered like a conventional sitar or guitar. Download programs. It would be much more practical for you to spend US $700 or so on an electric sitar guitar, such as the model.
Notice that it has 12 extra sympathetic strings that are not connected to the neck of the guitar (the instrument has 18 strings in all), and that it has the special buzzing sitar-like bridge under the main six strings. The best way I've seen to construct a sitar guitar is to buy a cheap used 12 string guitar, even one with the neck slightly twisted, and then super-glue a rectangular piece of bone or plastic to the bone bridge so that the bone piece causes the strings to buzz but not dampen. If you try this method try to find a cheap used twelve string banjo. Sitar banjos sound awesome! Modified used 12-string guitars and banjos with slightly twisted necks in this way and sold them at their shop, although I've never seen them post one online. You might want to call them to see if they have one or if they'll sell you the bridge piece you need to get the sound.
