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.
