I picked up yet more picks.
Now I’m using Dunlop TIII 1.35mm and they feel pretty good. Nice and thick, but not crazy thick, and I like the feel of the Tortex. I can’t decide if I like Tortex or Ultex more. They are both fantastic materials for sure.

I was also undecided for a while but in the end I think I prefer the tortex for tonal reasons: its attack sounds more “brushy” and warm, if that makes sense. In contrast, when it makes contact with the string the ultex gives a bit more of a high-pitched “click” sound.
PS: I also keep coming back to the TIIIs, very good picks. Shame they wear out so quickly, but it’s probably the price to pay for the warm tone.

I also go back and forth on which pick materials I prefer. From waaaay back I used tortex, then when I discovered Ultex I used that almost exclusively. But I still went back and forth.
I recently discovered acetyl and I’m really loving it! It’s durable as all hell and it “slips” right through the string.
I would love to get to that point. for me, it’s like 2 picks or nothing. If I don’t use either of those picks, it sounds like I started playing guitar for only a few years 
Kinda replying to myself, but for those who want to try a pick with the same shape as the new Dunlop Flow, you can just try a Dunlop JD 208.

Just got the same, they feel great! There’s something about the black tortex material that makes is feel and sound really good. I have the impression it wears out quick though.

Yeah they do seem to smooth out quite quickly, Ultex is still king!
I also picked up a packet of Dava Jazz Grip poly gels, the ones with the orange tips, and I’m liking them a lot. The rubbery grip is so easy to hold on to.
Those look wild - How are they???
I used Jazz III Black, red if I am out of black. But my preference it Primetone Jazz III XL or Ultex Jazz III XL - pickboy metacarbonates, snarling dogs BRAIN nylon don’t get clicky or stuck on the string like Dunlop Nylons, V-picks, Clayton casein… but I have literally everything out there except for Winspea r? I will check them out. NOT a fan of Delrin, good for 2 hours? Tortex is ok if nothing else…prefer then to Celluloid… but Ernie Ball heavy for whatever reason seems better than Fender Heavy…probably in my head. I have Horn, shell, brass, coconut shell and Stohn picks. All good for difference applications
I tried this once and did not like it. I play mostly thrash and death, so tremelo picking is a must for me. As soon as the pick gets stuck, I’m done with it. and this pick unfortunately kept getting stuck. I definitely prefer other V-picks out there over this, but again, just my opinion.
My favorit at the moment is the Blue Chip TAD 60
I’ve never played a Blue Chip, but would really like to.
You should try.
Great tone and indestructable!
I just looked at the Blue Chips. Interesting design and I’d love to try one but the pricing is pretty ridiculous…
The “100” series (2.5mm) picks are what, $75 for one pick!?!?! That’s just out of line in every way possible.

Bit too expensive for me. 
It’s how you look at it.
Most cheaper well known brand picks i can throw away after a few weeks of intensive playing. This Blue Chip i have over a year now and will go for another year at least i think.
It also has 3 exact the same tips, so you can devide the price by 3.

I just found out that Petrucci released another signature pick! 
Does anybody plan to get this?

Looks good! It is the smaller version of the Andy James signature.
Yeah! Should have given these Davas a shot before. I just found a version that is almost the same shape as a Dunlop TIII. They are slightly more bendy, but the grip is sooo good! Good tone as well, although I feel I am getting less attack than I get with tortex (the counterpart of this is that the pick glides very easily across the strings)
Edit: It’s this one
Actually I just realised the different colors code for different tip materials! Didn’t notice a huge difference between different colours but I’ll pay more attention tonight.
