Hard to say for me, but I always feel safe with a Jazz III lol.
Yellow tortex. Or maybe orange
I refuse to use any pick other than Jazz III Max-Grip Carbon Fibre. Thick and rigid, tiny size, perfect shape. Doesn’t fly out of my sweaty hands. Perfect for thrash and its many 00000s.

Phrasing!
Ahhh shit, ig I shoulda read that back before posting 😅…
No no you shouldn’t have. It’s excellent just the way it is!
Jazz III exactly like the pic!
Dunlop Ultex Sharp. Bright chirpy attack and minimal friction on the string for high speed picking. After about an hour of playing, the tip ends up perfectly beveled and stays that way for quite a while. The ultex doesn’t wear like other material does.
Dunlop orange
Jazz III max grip.
I love Jazz IIIs but ever since max grip I can’t do regular. Too slippery.
Jazz III White or black for me. Fast picking and precise, durable, grippy, super sensitive pinch harmonics. the white ones are much easier to find on a dark stage or the top of a black amp. “Regular” pick for scale
Joining the tortex crowd on team purple
Green for mandolin
Green boi
Ultex Jazz III XL, like the regular jazz III in tone but actually large and grippy enough to stay between your fingers and more durable than nylon.
Thin Ultex sharps for strummier and acoustic stuff.
I like tortex but it wears out too quickly IMO.
I like the big stubby a lot of the time for multiple grips it’s great, or if I’m playing something faster I’ll use a daddario duralin precision 1.50mm that I like more when you choke up further
Aw i used to use these ones back in the day. Def a solid choice
@AbsolutePain not only one
I’ve used 1mm Tortex picks virtually exclusively for many years. I can identify the sound of one of those hitting the ground blindfolded.
I’ve seen people use these ones. How soft/rigid are they?
The blue ones (1mm is blue, the thicknesses are colour coded) have a soft, kinda velvety/matte texture, and are fairly rigid; they’re noticeably stiffer than a standard 1mm plastic pick. I find them to be a very good balance of nimble maneuverability (because they’re so thin, and don’t get caught on the strings), and positional predictability (because they don’t deflect very much, so I know where the tip of my pick is gonna be after I pick a note.
All different based on color. I like orange for picking and red for strumming
Orange tortex for years until recently, wife got me some of these and they’re awesome
Expensive but worth buying a set
Dunlop Gator Grip 1,50 works very good for me, both for rhythmn and lead playing.
