Показать описание
Here we go folks, a side by side comparison/demo/review of 4 popular Dunlop picks.
Gator 1.5mm
Carbon Fiber Jazz III
Ultex Jazz III
John Petrucci Signature Jazz III

Tested with my PRS CE-22 into my Mesa/Boogie Mark IV, through a very small Raven 1x12 cab with its stock "celestion" speaker. Recorded with my Zoom H1 Handy Recorder placed directly on the speaker. Enjoy, and please leave comments and questions, and subscribe!

Love this demo because of the PRS sounds and is played so enjoyably here.

I've tried em all and still love the EJ jazz iii. To me the Eric Johnson J3 seems just a tad thinner and I like that.

the John petrucci pick sounded the best out of all, i go between those and the dunlop gator grip 1.14 mm and the ultex jazz

You should do another pick shoot out with some Animals as Leaders Jazz III picks.

The Carbon fiber pick does it for me sonically and feel wise. Super grippy, light and not too bright or dark. Sits perfect in the middle. The rest is up to your fingers. 🤘

I stopped using gator grip. I find they lose a bunch of high ends and mid articulation in the tone because of the round tip. If only they made it in a jazz3 xl shape but gator grip.

green dunlop tortex triangles, with one of the points rounded off with shears to make it strum without digging in. Other two points for everything else. Use hole punch in middle to make a grip improving hole that doubles as a way to put it on a string or on a necklace.

Ultex sound great, just ordered some JP to try out as well. Great video thanks for the comparison.

I've wanted to try the Ultex and Petrucci Jazz III's. I've liked the tortex and XL ones so far.

I play the carbon fiber jazz III right now and I love it, I honestly cant use anything else. Gotta try out that JP model though!

After playing for many years I just use what feels good in my hand.  I like bright colored picks that are easy to find IF I drop one on stage.

i have a ton of all different picks from fenders, dunlops etc but i always go back to the gator grip 1.14 (blue ones) im going to try the carbon fiber ones

It's my impression maybe, but the sound with the JP jazz III feels more solid and rounded.

How's the durability - ultex Vs. carbon fibre?

With a clean or distorted tone, the difference between the picks is really minimal.  You should try different materials (metal, stone, plastic, etc.) and thicknesses to hear more sounds.

I really doubt anyone could tell the difference between these in a blind test, especially with distortion. I say just play with whatever feels best in your hand and on the strings. I ultimately went with the carbon fiber jazz III due to the grip and matte finish.
