Danelectro Sitar Swami - ...don't bother!

[revsharp777]

I remember a post on here about this pedal a couple of months back. *Some of us got very excited about it. *Well here's my review...

After months on getting excited about a sitar simulator, I finally received one for a Christmas gift. *WHAT A JIP! *This sucker sounds NOTHING like a sitar. *Not even close! *It nothing more than an octave pedal (that doesn't track well) *combined w/ a flanger & slight overdrive. *It sounds absolutely awful! *For $129, this pedal should be nominated for "the worst effects pedal of the year"! *So anyway, this will prompty go back to GC on the 26th & I'll swap it out for a Dunlop Rotovibe instead.

BUYER BEWARE!

good advice, I'll stay away, for what it's worth, the sitar simulator on the Eventide harmonizer sux too! LOL

you can get pretty close to that ftlog electric sitar by just picking really close to your fretting hand. i personally wouldn't have any other use for it!

Thanks for the warning. Actually, a while back, someone posted a link of a couple of soundbite samples....it was pretty bad. One quote I remember was "that was supposed to sell it?" LOL.
