Hi Krispen,
Have you received the cds I sent you? I
really loved your cds and dvd (remember, you sent them to me for a translation
from italian to english...)
Just to get back to your question... have
you tried to put the harmonizer/pitch shift effect very low in volume right
after the flanger?
I usually use this kind of preset with the
piezo on my electric guitar to obtain a sitar-like sound, and then I play a bit
with the slide and the sustainer and the vibrato bar...
Since I don’t have a sitar, I don’t
know if I actually obtain the best approximation, but on the recordings it
seems a bit like it...

Yeah, I heard about this unit, but that
it wasn't that great at emulating the instrument. In any event, I just
created a VF-1 patch that isn't too bad...I combined auto-wah (that is active
in the high end range), EQ (notching all the low end and low mid range out),
and flange (with the rate very low and depth high). That is decent at
mimicking the main playing string of the guitar, but getting the sympathetic
strings is a different story. I might look for a VST effect where I can loop a
drone in a particular key, and have it sound like the sympathetic
strings...then I can play with my VF-1 patch over that.

I
know, I have and play the sitar and shouldn't be asking this question, but does
anyone know what mixture of effects might simulate the sound of a sitar? I was
thinking of mixing some auto-wah with flange and a touch of high octave. Any
other suggestions? I was hoping to create the mix on my Boss VF-1.
