Tone

Overview:

An important aspect to consider in a guitar pick is its influence on Tone. A guitar pick can greatly influence Tonal Balance, Dynamic Range in Frequencies and Volume control, Attack, Sustain, and even Pick Noise. Below is a breakdown of these areas that are examined within NITRIDE picks.


Frequencies / Pitch / Personality:
  • Tonal balance: Where majority of frequencies are present, how the sound is perceived when heard. The balance of frequencies in the audio spectrum
  • Dynamic Range: The variability / control over the volume produced, measured in decibels.
  • Frequency Response: The range of frequencies present within the produced sound.

Sound Shape:

Guitar picks influence the initial stages of a sound, being the attack. Only influence attack, where the other components of a sound, Delay, Release, Sustain, etc, are mostly affected by the type of guitar strings, (Gauge, material), and the setup of the rest of the guitar, such as guitar neck, tuning, etc.
