Seems cool... A little gimmicky though. "you'll have better lows, mids, AND highs!"
Damn maybe I should just sell my amp and buy loads of these!

...doesn't having more lows, mids, and highs mean you'll just be... louder?
They look neat. I may try some. Personally, I'm addicted Ice Pix's copper flex picks.
They're neat.

These are great picks and worth it. Not everyone will like them but if you do they will change your relationship with your guitar for the better.

What's it like using a thick pick like that? I use medium & heavy picks but they're still fairly thin... I don't think any are over 1mm. I can't even comprehend using something like the "insanity" pick, but I'm not opposed to trying what with Christmas coming and all.
Which ones do you use Dorf?

They DO look interesting.
Do they bend? I like my picks to be kinda flexible.
I'd imagine even the thinnest ones would be stiff. But I dunno exactly what this material is...
...and I do use thick brass picks from time to time, so I guess I could try them anyways. It's time to order new picks anyways.
*edit*

...but i very rarely use a pick anymore. who has time to bend down to pick it up if dropped?

I'm personally a fan of thin to med picks... I like to be able to strum fast.
I generally just use the orange Dunlop's... It's the best of both worlds. Great for rhythm, and lead.

I've got an insanity with psycho corners and it is the best pick I have ever used. Not for everyone, though.
