I decided to make a thread regarding the feedback for Gravity Picks, since Chris was kind enough to send us samples. Post your experience here!
I received a Classic Standard red pick, presumably 1.5mm. I didn't request a specific pick, but just told him I currently use the Dunlop Tortex 1mm blue pick. I have to admit, there is a significant difference between these two. Usually, I find a pick that has the right thickness for my style and one that can last awhile before wearing down. The sample pick has opened my eyes, though I doubt my wallet.
The best description I can give on how they feel when playing is the Tortex is like plastic and the Gravity is like glass. Neither is better or worse, just different. The upper midrange seemed to jangle a bit more with the Tortex while the Gravity just sounded smooth and balanced all the way through, plugged or unplugged. The Tortex gave a bit rawer/raunchier tone due to that upper midrange, but the smooth/balanced sound really made every note sound equal (none louder or more pronounced than the other). Due to material differences, the Gravity pick seemed to effortlessly slide over the strings while the Tortex took the usually metal manpower. Over tight palmmutes or fast strum patterns, the smoothness of the Gravity pick really shown through.
All in all, the Gravity Classic is a phenomenal pick. I've never given much thought to which pick I use, but perhaps should reconsider. Then again, I have a rough time paying $5 per pick when I can get a dozen of Dunlop Tortex picks for the same price. We'll see how long the sample picks lasts befre I make my desicion. Thanks again, Chris!
