Hello,

I own several EHX pedals and am very happy with all of them. Among them is the Ravish Sitar and I have a suggestion for an improvement:

A feature that I miss is the ability to switch the sympathetic strings off and on again quickly with a footswitch. This is not currently possible. The only way to do this with the Ravish pedal alone is by turning the poti for the level of the sympathetic strings, which is impossible if I have the pedal on the floor. However, it needs to be on the floor in order to be able to use the hold feature for the sympathetic strings.

I’ve solved the problem by patching the outputs for lead and sympathetic to an AB/Y pedal. However, it would be nicer if the Ravish would provide this functionality by itself.

Using an expression pedal does not do what I want: At the heel-down position, the sympathetic strings are turned off, but at any other position, they are not just turned on, but frozen. I don’t find this useful at all and therefore don’t use an exp. pedal with the Ravish. I think it would be much more useful if the expression pedal would just set the level for the sympathetic strings but not freeze them. It would certainly be possible to add this feature by means of an additional switch, though.

Thank you.
