The Korena take

Guitar pedal that generates sitar-style tones and synth textures. For players chasing drone and raga sounds without a sitar.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Psychedelic and Eastern-flavored parts in a guitar rig
  • Adding drone under chords for texture layers
  • Studio work where a sitar sound is needed but no sitar exists

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting a subtle always-on effect — this is a feature sound
  • Anyone needing a real sitar; it approximates, not replicates
  • Small crowded boards — at 4.72 by 5.71 inches it takes real space

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

4.72 x 5.71 inch footprint

Wider and deeper than a standard compact pedal. Measure your board before committing to a spot.

Detail 02

Sitar synthesizer

Tracks your playing and regenerates it with sitar-like resonance and buzz rather than filtering your dry signal.

Detail 03

Synth voicing

Output is a generated tone, so response depends on clean pickup signal. Heavy distortion in front confuses tracking.

Detail 04

Drone capability

Holds a sustained pitch under what you play, filling the role of a sitar's sympathetic strings.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm power requirements and polarity before plugging into a shared supply
  2. 02Synth tracking works best with a clean signal ahead of it
  3. 03Check board space — this is larger than a standard compact enclosure

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it sound like a real sitar?

It approximates the resonance and buzz of a sitar through synthesis. It gets the character, not an exact replica of the instrument.

02Where does it go in my chain?

Early, before heavy gain and time-based effects. Synth tracking depends on a clean, strong signal from your pickups.

03Will it track my playing accurately?

Single notes and clean playing track best. Dense chords and distortion ahead of it make tracking less predictable.

04Will it fit on my pedalboard?

It's 4.72 inches wide by 5.71 deep — larger than a compact pedal. Measure your open space first.
