I've been using Tortex .60 orange regulars for years, now with EBs 9-46 Hybrid slinky cobalts. I have been experimenting with Graphtech .68 Tusq black. So many choices, I think it boils down to what you get used to. I've never tried the heavy gauge strings before... Excellent video and playing. I'm inspired!

Overall there is not much difference but I can clearly hear the tone softening and losing aggression with the thicker and smoother picks I think it sounded best with the ultex flow 88 and Tortex flow 88 and 73 the attack sound more percussive and precise

Epic comparison!
Wish you also included Jim Root Dunlop - 1.3mm nylon with pointy tip.

what do you think about the dunlop gator grip? I want to know his grip and sweaty grip level for you? I think is slightly slippery

[ohmuseek]

I want that guitar, can you please give us the specs?

I think its all about how you feel the pick.If its not the right pick for you, you can t play.Sound can be modulate from amps, eq or processors.Must be love between your pick and technique.

[tremolux]

the more distortion, the more you hear the amp creating overtones and compression and the less you hear what is in front of the amp.

As a rule of thumb: For playing leads and picked rhythms, use a rigid pick 1.0 mm or above because it gives you better control than a soft pick. For strumming, especially on acoustics, a softer pick can be helpful for the percussive effect.
Material depends on your personal preferences, like Tortex feels "dryer" than for example Delrin. Only testing for yourself will give you an answer there.
Personally I prefer Dunlop Tortex, 1.0 or 1.14 for the electric and Dunlop Tortex .60 for the acoustic.

Sick riff 🤘🏻 I like the black Dunlop nylons. Perfect for me.

Personally, I like the flow 1.35 tortex.
