Tone!" and other things from the website really give a snake-oil vibe to a lot of their products. I just use these: http://www.elderly.com/accessories/items/PK15-H/GRY.htm Solid buggers with crazy good grip, for bass and guitar.

These are what I've been using since they were released a few years ago. Freakin' sweet. After using them for a while I went back to regular Dunlop heavies and actually noticed the smallest difference in tone. Wasn't a good or bad switch, just a little different.

I'm a fairly heavy-handed picker, so I've used these bad boys for as long as I can remember... usually I go with the purple 1.14 mm ones. My other guitarist uses brass picks, and I think he's drat psychotic for it.

Can't remember what size they are because I chew on my picks and all the writing is worn off every single one.

Is it sad that I dig through my picks to find one that hasn't had the thickness worn off by my thumbs? Either my sweat is loving corrosive, or I grip the picks with the force of an alligator's jaws. I can't decide which it is.

The thickest picks I've ever seen have been used by gypsy players but even this is a little ridiculous.

 I got a pack of these for free and I love them. Tough to find them in stores though. The grip is nice, and isn't too rubbery to keep you from sliding the pick around between your fingers if you need to adjust.

All in all, I like the pick and the feel it has, plus how brightly it sounds when you play because its hard plastic...but I wouldn't spend money on them again. I like my ultex .7 (whatever's) just the same. the sheer number of styles is a little ridiculous.... Yay dunlop

 3mm, big chunky fast picks. If you play any kind of fast metal, you'll love these. ^^ the sharkfin is for running down the strings when you're doing chords. Acoustic players seems to get a "fuller" chord with them

So I have this Dean ML and I really love it, but the Dimebucker it has just really isn't my thing. I sure would like to try one of those nifty X2N's everyone talks about. Oh whats that? You'll trade a Dimebucker for an X2N? Yes please!  Thanks Dean Guitar Forum guy. You rule. I'll be installing this probably this weekend. I have a Bare Knuckle Warpig installed at the moment because I couldn't stand to see my poor guitar with a giant hole inside it. Review will come later.

Oh snap, please post audio clips if you can, I've always wondered what the X2N sounds like, and the Dimarzio website has pretty crappy sound clips.

I'll do my best but I don't have any recording gear. I'll try and use the line out on my amp and see if it sounds any good.

Canned Weenies posted:I have these and they sound awesome, but after an hour or so they kill your ears. Do they kill your ears moreso than your typical supra-aural headphones? The review I read mentioned that they are more comfortable than most headphones that sit on your ears. I would love something that sits around the ears. From what I have read, the Grado's have superior sound for the price, and a pair of circum-aural headphones matching that quality of sound would cost a lot more.

bleep blorp bleep blorp sorry for the lovely cameraphone picture bleep blorp Midipeds board acquired! Next step is to order a 20-pack of arcade buttons, and make a trip to Home Depot to build the chassis. The plan is to have a midi footpedal with which to trigger my micron with while playing bass.

Paging Agreed to the thread! I've briefly tried a pair of Grados and they are quite comfy for supra-aurals. From what I remember they have quite light pressure on your ear, the only thing that I think might be annoying is the roughness of the foam pads against your ears. I'm not sure about their sound quality relative to the Grados, but the Audio Technica AD700s are around the same price range and are open circum-aurals. They are quite highly recommended in a number of places because of their quality:price ratio.

Is this also true of the Grado's? This concerns me a little bit. Agreed come iTT and talk to me
