I'd start with a compressor pedal, a particularly squishy one (Boss) Set
Attack low and compression a bit high, tone towards high end. Then next
plug
into a Flanger with a subtle, shifting thing going. If you can put an EQ
in
between the pedals you might dial out the mids.
Send this to a 3 second loop and set your drone with an open string, let
it
layer the same note at least twice. The flange should give you that slight
overtone shift that the Tamboura produces. Then pick away for your Sitar.
