But that's corrected in an hour which is what it takes for me to wear a pick quite well.
    Hey Dee, I believe those would be "Wedgies" and they're still around.

    Personally I think that there can be a considerable difference in tone depending on material, thickness and flexibility.

    I agree. The Snake V-Pick is very sharp sounding (kind of ice-picky) whereas the Dunlop is smooth sounding. I definitely hear
    the difference from the guitar but perhaps it wouldn't be noticeable from the amp output (sort of like when you have less tension
    on the lower E-string in drop-d and you can hear the string bounce about on the guitar but not from the amp).

    I just received a pack of Wedgie 'Rubbers' in my mail. They're 5.0mm (mediums), tried them on acoustic and they're pretty nice. Takes a minute to get used to holding them differently, but pretty much no pick noise at all.
