After some time yesterday, comparing the 3 high end picks I own - along with a green tortex(my normal pick), here's where I'm at...
I played through the clean channel of my Archon, no effects.
V-Pick Large P - I quite like the tone of this pick. It's the clearest, biggest, boldest sound of all the picks I tried. Also the least comfortable in my hand as its the biggest length, width, thickness. Thickness didn't both me much but larger triangular shape up where I grip it I have a hard time getting used to. Then, the dreaded chirp.
V-Pick Screamer(red) - Smaller than the large V-Pick, but same shape, it is a little more comfortable to hold. Still the pointy ends up where I grip the pick bother me some. Tone was less extreme than that of the Large P, but less chirp too. Not sure why, same thickness just slightly smaller. The only thing I can guess is the material is a little different?
Red Bear Big Jazzer H - This pick has the right handed speed bevel. Didn't quite have the volume of the V-Picks but has great clarity. Closer sounding to the Screamer I guess but a little less bold, definitely not as punchy as the large P. It's a nice pick and probably good for getting nice clean runs going. It's thinner than both the V-Picks I have which are 2.75 mm. Comfortable in hand, bigger than a Jazz III but smaller than a classic shape.
Clayton green tortex style - Nothing special sounding. Pretty flat response, not bright, not round and warm. Just there. It works, I don't drop 'em a ton and they're cheap to get band name put on.
So going off of that info, I figured I'd order some more V-Picks that were closer to the classic shape. I got 3 of them with the Ghost Rim edge which supposedly helps reduce the chirp and a couple others that I just figured I'd try. Got a few different thicknesses to see if I hear a sonic difference. I can't ever see myself using Red Bear regularly. I don't have time to deal with their limited ordering time thing. I may check out gravity again some time if none of the V's float my boat. I will probably grab a blue chip or 2 once I figure out which thickness I want.
