Used to be a HUGE v-pick guy, to the point where I can't actually use regular sized picks anymore, but they were getting dull way too quick for me. Can't remember who told me about them, think it was Darius; but I gave Hufschmid picks a try and those things are godlike.

I'm with ya!!! I was such a HUGE V-Pick fan, and kept having so many custom mods done that Vinny finally made me my own signature pick!! You can still buy it on the vpick web site!
 But then I got a VONHOTCH OCTAVIOUS and now I love it so much, after going through several revisions, that is really is the PERFECT pick for me. It's ideal for my style of play and I'm very grateful to VonHotch for working with me for over a year to perfect it!!!  I did order some of those HUFSCHMID picks as well!!! They are really well crafted and are very high end picks. 3 of them priced about $100 U.S. I liked them but I'd already found my perfect pick so now I just keep them for reference. I should have put one in the shot!!

My favorite for solo parts
 For rhythm parts and mostly for the moments when I need to adds more crunch to the tone, I use this thin pick:

I often switch out picks to give slightly different tone to solo work. It's just another arrow in ones quiver

Started playing with those generic picks that are found on the ground at guitar center. Moved into the popular Jazz IIIs. My current ones are a long the preaching of Todd, using a sharp pick. Instead of rubbing it on the carpet I just bought Tortex Sharps I use to use the purple ones you have listed, but they tend to blend a bit in with my brown carpet so I moved up into the white ones which are also a 1.5mm thickness.

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Jul 10 2014, 04:58 AM) That's exactly what I was doing man... purple pick dust and cream carpets don't go together ! I tried the Dunlop sharp ones but they were too narrow which made it difficult to grip the pick halfway down, forcing you to hold it too far towards the wider end. So when the Jazz III's turned up I had everything I needed. Right size, right thickness, easy to grip and factory sharpened ! I should give the Jazz IIIs another shot I really only changed to make myself more accurate with picking, just got use to them. I bet I have a few "laying" around somewhere! Oh man lame pick jokes are the best! Edit: Wow, I looked at the wall and it looks like my pick pouch is actually on the floor.. That kinda scary weird.

I got some of the white dunlop sharp 1.5's. Initially I was using them just for alt picking exercises but I really took to them and use them all the time now.
