Fantastic sounding plectrums!
kiddgatilho 11.04.2017
I got an Ultex Sharp plectrum a few months ago in a Dunlop mix pack (serveral picks from different models).

As a JazzIII user, I had to get used to the size of the plectrum, but that wasn't a issue since the sound was great!

Comparing it with the JazzIII, the Ultex Sharp has a lot more bite in the attack, you get more clarity out of chords and if you use the back of the plectrum, you get a warmer sound but still with a lot of clarity.

I recommend this plectrum for everyone who likes a sharper attack and a brighter tone out of their playing.

My current favorite

I've compared many materials, bone, horn, nylon, celluloid, Tortex, Ultex, and others in thicknesses between 0.5mm and 1.5mm. Also tried the traditional teardrop shape, the triangular and the sharp point, this 1.14 sharp does everything better.

First it does less pick noise, which I noticed when I muted the strings with my left hand to hear the pick striking the string only. Second, the point moves over the string faster than the rounded tip so I can execute faster tempos cleaner and with less hesitation.

Then the rigidity removes the rubbery sound that the strings used to make with softer picks. All that makes for a snappier attack that really shines when you play distortion. I thought I had a good metal tone but I realized it was not crisp as can be.

Lastly, the thicker 1.14 grips better than the thin ones, and I plan to try thicker gauges, 1.40, 1.50 and maybe 2.0 but for now the 1.14 does everything I like. I was stuck in the idea that thin picks give out more high harmonics but the thick ones give out more bass, so the sound is not brittle.

Highs are not lacking, and even if they were, only a little EQ adjustment will do, the reduced highs are not such a large difference that it's outside the normal EQ range.
Some picks are not quite symmetrical at the tip but a few passes with superfine sandpaper rectifies them and improves the feel on the strings.

The best picks i have ever played
TTguitar 03.02.2020
Those are seriously the best picks i have ever played. I can finally play fast without my right hand "stuttering". When playing fast lick the problem was always in my right hand. The picks i played were either too thick or too thin. Those pick are of the perfect thickness to play fast and also to strum.

For me, these are better than Tortex
Paul25 16.03.2015
Have been using now for just over a week and I think they offer much more control than Dunlop's Tortex picks. I'm ordering more.

At this price it's hard to go wrong. Thomann = great delivery and packaging. Have ordered many things from them and they are yet to mess up any delivery. Please Thomann keep up your great service levels.
