I also have a huge disparity on tone since I play mainly with the finger tips (flesh) and the thumb pick is way louder.
That may be a technique issue.......I don't know.
Anyway, I may give the speed pick a try and put some work into it.
You got me thinking................
I am in the same boat, using flesh fingers that sound too soft when paired with a thumb pick. I don't really want to use fingerpicks. Maybe someone else has faced this issue and resolved it.
