That song isn't technically "Bollywood", it's Pakistani. So, Lollywood.

I've always been a fan of parked flange for resonant "steel drum"-ish sounds.
Also, I got a Mooer Pitch Box off a trade that has horrible tuning. I'm using it for weirdness, so that's o.k., but I wonder if in the right hands it could be used to simulate microtonal sounds.

hey guys, how are you doing? I'm new here and I used to post a fair bit on HCFX as ArrMatey.
I've been looking for a maestro fuzz or a clone that gets very close to that sort of sound. Reason being it seems like it was the main pedal for a lot of eastern european/turkish psychedelic rock from the 60s/70s and I really love that sound, as well as the fuzz sounds you get in old country pop.
Any help with that? I'm not looking for an ultra boutique pedal but either a kit or a close pedal.
I've posted a thread bout this but Sonidero told me to post it in this thread.
Thanks.

I like a few Basic Audio pedals for these types of sounds: Wildcat, Zippy, Fuzz Mutant and Gnarly
You should talk to John, maybe he'd suggest something else. He could build you what you want.

the company is in Bamako...thats the Congo, isn't it? that sounds like trading fours between someone cruelly abusing a classical guitar and someone playing one of the primitive two-stringed bass-oid instruments from Africa like the guy plays in the Hadouk Trio.

Real-time per-string pitch shifting fun, faux electric sitar modelling plus two other whatever you wants on top.
Can't get much more multicultural than that.

I guess you could get close with a cranked RRR and a fixed flanger.

This is music from Mali. It's hard to tell exactly which sound you're referring to as West African music is so interlocking. It could be a n'goni (primitive lute family instrument). It could also be a small "thumb piano" lamellophone. I think I also hear a balafon (xylophone), a talking drum, a larger lamellophone (playing the bass), maybe a kora-like harp, other drums, etc.

Hm, I'd try really floppy strings > reverb > highpass filter.
