Just your normal pick, but not ideal for metal
Breax 08.10.2022
Overall, nice picks for not a lot of money. The biggest downside for me, though, is the rounded edge. I would rather prefer a sharper edge, as it makes a ton of difference in terms of accuracy, especially for metal. On the other hand, the sharper the edge, the less durable it is. What I mean by this is that, after some time, you will shred through the edge of your pick and it will eventually become dull and, as a result, playing gallops or tremolo picking will become noticeably harder. If you play for a couple of hours everyday, it is usually a dream that your pick lasts for a week. In practice, it may become dull after 1-2 rehearsals, depending on your technique. So it is really a question of how much money you can pay for your picks, as they are, like strings, are not meant to last forever.

If you are just starting guitar, you will probably enjoy these picks. They are nice to touch, reasonably grippy, though nothing special. And they will last longer than sharper picks. They might be okay for beginner practice, however, if you can spend a little more money, I would suggest getting something like the Ibanez Grip Wizard series picks, as they are supperior in terms of texture, shape and, most importantly, sharpness. If your aim is to play as clean as possible, sharper picks can make your life significantly easier. For genres different from metal, thess picks are probably okay.

Balanced

The 1.00 firmness in the Tortex seems to be a balanced thickness. I still prefer a bit more thickness and hardness to it, but this will do for most general playing. Great price!

Hardy picks
Anonymous 08.02.2017
I have been using these picks for about 4 years or so and i have been given no reason to change as of yet.
I play a vintage ibanez as80 with Daddario EJ22's and these picks are the perfect match.

As the gauge of my strings is fairly high it is matching that my picks should also be fairly thick. I play all kinds of music on the one gutiar. Everything from traditional and modern jazz, to fairly hard rock, and everything in between.
when i really need to hook into my strings to get a ballsy tone, these picks are ideal. And when i need to play softly its nice to actually be able to use very little force to produce a nice round tone with a bit of edge.

I practice and play a lot and so the picks get worn down. i normally have a couple which i actually sand down slightly so that they are not so pointy, and use these for situations in which i will not be required to play heavy a lot of the time. Then i have the others for rock etc which i leave as they are.

All in all great picks, and if you like to modify the shape of them slightly then thats easy.

Decent picks, but comes down to personal preference
The Casual Doctor 04.12.2018
These picks do wear away quite quickly, which is a downside, but they glide nicely and are quite grippy for a flat surface.

Great 1mm pics but prone to wear and are best bought in sets of ten if they are your preferred pic/size

Tortex Standard
Lukas4449 19.02.2014
I use the Dunlop Tortex standard when i play hardrock and metal.
they are very stiff and hard, so they are perfect for hard and fast riffs.
they last much longer then the Dunlop nylons i play usally.

guitar pick
Thomas7424 08.01.2014
this is my favourite guitar pick. It is quite stiff and gives you good control. However, if you have a half decent technique like me, you will ware it down pretty fast. But the valuepack gives some % off compared to buying single picks, so I think it is well spent money.

These are great for general use although acoustic strummers may want to go for something lighter. They do not wear down very fast and they have moderately good grip even when sweaty.
