[Transcend]

I've got some on the way

[Shag101]

Thanks Ben & Kiichi
Appreciate it!

They arrived today.

I must agree they do add a great edge to the sound even with my TSL.

My only issue with them is the fact that they are massive, I can deal with the thickness but the actual size will take  a little getting used to.

The first thing i noticed is that pinch harmonics really leap out that bit more with these than they seem to with regular celluloid picks

[Kiichi]

Mine arrived today as well.
My first impression: They are huge. Biggest pics in my collection (not thickest, biggest). I usually play with those tiny jazz pics so that is a huge problem, at least for now.
They do add something to sound, but, and that may be to my holding it wrong, some bad overtones which I really donīt like in higher single notes, but for powerchords they seem really great.
My favorite from the other ones I got send is the really dark wood, I guess ebony. That just seems kinda right.




I now have 19 different pics (different materials, shapes, sizes, bevels and thicknesses) and I think itīs time for a little comparison. Really make a wide array of samples to get some real comparison and in the end perhaps a result with some weight.
Problem is: When I put 19 samples back to back in the one order it is hard to compare them properly.
So how should I arrange the audio files to allow the you to properly compare them like you want? Any suggestions?
Maybe I can confortably upload them somewhere so they play at a click in the order you chose?
Maybe like a big page of sound samples like the BKP samples?

[Transcend]

yeah they are huge but after playing for a bit i got used to it i usually use the small picks too.

i think the best way would be to just do a long file changing between them with comment markers on soundcloud

So do these shed, or are they hard wearing?

I'm finding the V-picks don't really have enough life in them, although they're better than ultex...

I bought some new plastic ones today. Pink ones and green ones again. I thought about buying the blue ones but they don't really match my skin tone.

So far i have been playing with one of these since mid week for about 4-5 hours a day playing general thrashy stuff and it has absolutely no sign of wear whatsoever

[Denim n Leather]

No sign of wear on mine and I've been putting in a couple hrs/day on mine. I woulda went through 10 celluloids by now.

[MDV]

This is encouraging. Wear is my number one problem with most picks.
