I typically use a bunch of different picks in a single session....I spect it’s because of my ADD.....in any case...i have Casein, Vespel, Acrylic resin, Peek, Delrin, Wood and Celluloid picks in my pick case...the only thing they have in common is that they’re all relatively thick...1 to 2.5 mm....I am often amazed at how little difference there is in the tone between them all....subtle differences when I’m really paying attention but overall they all sound fairly similar....I think the biggest difference is on the dull to bright spectrum.....that you can change a lot with pick choice....and .they do feel different which affects my playing a bit....and the different shapes and bevels are quite noticeable and also impact my playing....
....so even though I’m technically a pickaholic I could easily get by with any one of them...except maybe the wood pick...it sounds and feels great but I doubt it would hold up over time....a celluloid pick would certainly be just fine....
