Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black picks are the standard Tortex formulation in an unmarked black finish, here in the 1.14 mm gauge. Tortex was Dunlop's replacement for tortoiseshell, and its appeal is the matte, slightly chalky surface that resists slipping in sweaty hands. At 1.14 mm the pick barely flexes, giving a firm attack suited to rhythm and picking accuracy over strumming give.
Ernie Ball Heavy M-Size Special Eric Clapton picks are signature picks designed for Eric Clapton's style. The heavy gauge provides attack and control for rhythmic and lead playing. These picks appeal to Clapton fans and players seeking his signature feel.
