dsnyderdsnyder Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Hello All, I have a Spider V 120 and I am trying to create a sitar sound like used in songs like Painted Black... Beatles songs etc... not so much the droning but something for short solos. I love the sitar sound that is in the Variax guitar but I don't always use my Variax when out gigging so I was hoping to program in a pre-set in the amp that sounds like that Variax option. When not playing the Variax, I play an Epiphone Hollow Body that has both humbucker pickups and a nanomag pickup for a more acoustic sound. So... what I really want is Epiphone into the Spider V and out of the speaker comes a sitar sound. Any suggestions? Thanks! Davge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADBrown Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 There isn't any specific effect to give you a sitar sound in Spider V. You can get close to a sitar sound by wrapping a piece of aluminum foil around the strings near the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
