At the 03:00 mark. What is that instrument (if it even is an instrument), it sounds somewhat instrumental.

Sounds like a sitar that's been heavily edited afterwards

[thisispain]

sounds synthesized so it's probably like an approximation of something

There are hundreds of instruments that It could be

Its hard to tell when they could be using effects

The sitar's pretty popular so I'm assuming that's it

I don't reckon it's a sitar. The resonance is too short, I do recognize the sound though.
