Brossard Picks Demo

[Robert]

Ebony, Horn and Bone. These picks are fantastic. :happy

This also the first time I miced my Marshall with an SM57 for the sound. I went guitar, Mogami 2524 cable, old Tascam US-122, Mac, Garageband. Added tiny amount of delay and reverb in Garageband, exported file and imported into Final Cut Express, where I manually synced up the audio with the video.

How's the guitar tone?

Wouldn't you burn through a wood pick in no time flat?

 

[Robert]

I don't know Marnold, I haven't had these for very long. Maybe it depends on how aggressive one's style is. If they wear down or get ragged, I reckon they can be trimmed a bit with sandpaper.

Another top demo!

The first time I watched it I forgot to listen for different tones with different picks because I was too busy enjoying those chops :rockon

I was just checking out the site, very cool looking product for sure. I'm tempted to order that three set with one of each....

At the risk of flames erupting, how would you compare the bone/horn ones to v-picks?

Robert, you are a mighty fine guitar player and that goldtop Hagstrom suites you to a tee.

I really like your new miked-setup, sounds fantastic. :dude

Glad it sounds good, sound-wise (not talking guitar-playing-wise) because I am now miking the amp with an SM57 and bypassing the camera mic. I use my old Tascam US-122 and it seems to do a decent job converting into digital. Just wait until I get my new mic preamp! Should be even better then. I just think it's awesome how much tight low-end this Marshall JVM is putting when I go into overdrive...

V-picks? Yes, they are indeed great too. I find the V-picks are softer, and have a more "pinging" tone, a bit less sharp than the bone/horn, but still tight and musical. I think both are great for more gainier tones - it's really just a preference, but I do think the V-picks sound a bit different. I'll do a V-picks demo sometime too. I really like them too.

I also want to mention that I often play with just my fingers. I find the best tone you can ever get with a pick is still not as good as the tone you get when you play with your fingers. For some serious proof, I'll mention one name - Jeff Beck. Nuff said.

I won't debate that (could mention another: Mark Knopfler) but that particular point is irrelevant for me since I don't have the requisite fingertips to use. I've liked the v-picks for that very reason. They're easier to grip and the pointy, beveled edge of the Screamers help from a precision standpoint. It's more of a grip benefit than necessarily a tonal one for me (although that's there as well).

I never gave a moments thought to how the pick I use affects the sound I get.
The newbie keeps getting feed knowledge Thanks guys.

I'll try out some of these that are mention here to see what I think.
