yeah it's very precise and it sounds percussive ,

100% mate agreed.

Now the challenge is to play 'different' stuff competently , water is wet I know

also yeah I'm going to search for a different pick, my favourite so far has definitely been gravity pick but I have a feeling a smaller pick might be the way to go.

i'm going to check out red bear too

That is crazy , if that sounds good then the future is here.

I ultimately still always yearn for a FM9 because it's a multi FX layout but does everything my Kemper does

I know the Kemper stage is there, but I dunno, I just always want Fractcal for some reason (maybe it's a case of the grass isn't always greener)

Plus you've got generations of players now who have little to no experience playing through the real thing so there won't be any "feel" issue. It's all they know.

Many probably don't even bother coming up with their own presets. If you spend months dialing in great tones anyone with the same device will just expect you to freely share those presets. There's no mystery anymore. For years the comments would light up after an Andy Timmons video asking what his Strymon Timeline delay settings were. He never shared them. Fast forward to the Keeley Halo and you can have them in a pedal. Great product but I figured it out on my own. More enjoyable that way.

Nice one mate, yeah it does make me remember to be more careful with picks. Because of the cost but also the sheer annoyance when you can't find a good one (been using the small white jazz 3s since I lost all my other picks and no idea how people plays with these)

Of course on TGP you have people immediately reacting with like "what no IR loader? PFFFT HARD PASS, IDIOTS."
They're hard to please over there.

Nothing wrong with having multiple rigs. Something like that can be great for a simple practice rig. FM3/FM9 if you need more horsepower. And an old Marshall if you want to channel AC/DC or boutique it up to corksniff that last few percent of tone. All bases covered.

And you're right, we've never had it so good. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. There's all you could want at every price point.

Every time I order strings I buy a few different picks in the Jazz III size to experiment and nothing has eclipsed the Jazz III Ultex.

I just give the others away because I'm probably never going to play anything else.

Edit: Old photo now, tried maybe another 10 different ones since, and no change.

Don't mean to derail this thread but I'm out of options, at an impasse and your mailbox is full.
Could I trouble you (or any other MOD) to check my recent thread and help me get this resolved.

The red bear and ultex actually have some tonal similarities but the red bear seems to bring some just a little extra on top. Also the red bear wears far less quickly.

However it's a little annoying having to be aware of the fragility of the red bears in terms of snapping/warping if you grip too hard.
Not all of us are trying to ferociously fap the strings until they catch fire mang.

The pick I'm playing is at least a couple of years old now. I used to sharpen them with sandpaper but eventually came to like the tone with some degree of bevel. I do understand why it's not your thing. The main thing for me is the tone. Some picks are clicky sounding, dull, sound thin, etc. Ultex just sounds right to me. Back in the day I used red and black Jazz IIIs. I can't play with anything larger than that unless I was strumming an acoustic for a living. Would feel like holding a Dorito.

I'd believe it. The Patek Philippe of picks.

I like tone chasing as much as the next corksniffer but I locked in a few parameters. I only use Dimarzio pickups namely because it keeps me from going down a potentially very expensive rabbit hole. D'Addario strings. And Dunlop picks.

Never. Do you change picks depending on the style of music you're playing or are you still in the process of finding the best one?
