Jeff Loomis

In this Instagram post, Jeff Loomis discusses his Dunlop Jeff Loomis Custom Ultex Sharp 1.5mm Guitar Picks, highlighting their precision and reduced string drag, which enhance his fast passages and articulate arpeggios.

In this demo video on is signature picks, at 0:34 Loomis states:

"Well, number one, I've been using Dunlop picks my entire life, I've always loved the quality of the pick, and I think the first one I ever started using was the purple 2mm with the rounded edge, but I always wanted something with more attack and clarity."

"I'm really known for playing a lot of lead stuff, and pick-attack is just something I love the sound of. I mean, playing a lead and you can hear the sharpness of the pick just grabbing the string. So, that kinda pushed me more towards the Sharpie pick, the 1.5mm just normal Tortex white one. And at first, I actually really didn't like it because it tended to catch on the string a little bit too mutch, so that lead me to really concentrate and focus more on really just using the edge of it, not the whole thing."

"If you take your pick, and start striking the string from a halfway distance it's gonna end up catching, so really it's just the sharpness, and the attack in the very end."

According to Line 6 website, Loomis uses the Line 6 Sonic Port VX.

Here’s some shots of a board we did for @jeffloomis1 last year. This one had some cool LEDs on it. With the @bossfx_us ES-8s versatility it is easily able to be used in stereo or mono amps, with or without effects loops. The Bigsky is also MIDI programmed to be turned on/off via the ES-8 without being in one of its’ loops. #RigsByBTPA
