I use the GE-7 in my effects loop as a lead boost. It allows me to boost my mids and volumes etc and give lil tweaks to my lead sound. Works very well for that. Otherwise i have it turned off for rhythm use and i use the amp EQ settings. If you are gonna use it generally, an advantage is you having more bands to play about with instead of the usual 'Bass' 'Mid' and 'Treble'on most amps. It gives you that etra flxibil if its what you need.

i am in the same boat with Zerberus i usually lose mine before they are warn out past a useable state. i use 44R Nylon Standard jim dunlops.. the black 1mm. i love the little grips they have on them after a couple hours of giggin my hands can get sweaty and i can start droppin picks but i don't have that problem with these.

Probably because I buy my Dunlop Tortex 1.14s by the gross, never lost them before that

ROFL!!! i lose em fast too!!! i don't know how it happens!?!?!

well I use mine for 2-3 weeks & then ditch it, mine are tortex .88's & .60s, obviously the .88s last a little longer

Had this dunlop stubby for about a year! Surprised I haven't lost it really...

Hmm, you seem to really get through them. I don't think it's that unusual; I've read a number of times in the forum that people need to change their picks often. Probably a good idea too - if it gets a crack mid-set and one of your strings get's caught, it can be a little embarrassing.

I'm recently getting annoyed, my picks are lasting about a week or 2 to the point where theyre well worn, enough to find using a new pick much easier. Just wondering how long everybody else finds their picks' last. Btw I use Jim Dunlop Tortex .88
