Elastomer wizardry, perfect jazz pick

So this pick uses some Polyester Elastomer which is like a middle ground between plastic and rubber, feels really good under the fingers, soft yet grippy, very premium feel. It's glides effortlessly through the strings. The pick is 2.2mm thick but offers some malleability. The difference between the HARD and SOFT picks is precisely this degree of malleability. The soft was way to loose for me, but for strummers should be awesome. It resists abrasion even better than ultem, and light years more than acrylic or nylon. I really like soft attack/release, I'm always wrecking my nail polishers by polishing my picks instead. With this one I don't need to, it's always amazingly soft as new. I believe they marketed it for acoustic players, and indeed it plays wonderfully for acoustic, thick and warm sound with round soft release, but also for electric it's amazing for big fat jazzy tones. I played ultem jazz III's for years for their round attack and abrasion resistance, I also like Gravity's acrylics (if well polished, or else it's too bright for me), lately I also enjoyed quite a lot Dunlops JazzTone 208's (also need to be polished once in a while), and while they all are amazing picks they tend to wear down and I am constantly OCDing with their polish. Really this pick is magical, both on electric and acoustic, no more bright pick rattle, just pure fatness. Great solution for acoustic players who want to minimize pick strumming noise.

EDIT: well, it ended up wearing down a bit... But lasted quite a bit. Just polish it.

Great pick for accompaniment to vocals

The first impression is that they can sound dull, but I realise that’s because they cut some scraping/chirping frequencies that other picks make that you would probably want to cut in a mix anyway. They might not cut through enough in a band setting (where a strummed acoustic might play more of a rhythm part) but for solo acoustic with singing, they were a revelation. Don’t be put off by the initial strum, try it with singing and it really works. With single lines/fingerpicking/flatpicking it has a fantastic round warm sound, but with enough high end to remind you it’s a steel string, but with less pick-click. Probably not a bluegrass pick it you’re aiming for extra twang to compete with a banjo or mandolin, but other than that a great pick.
