    Default Dava Control Picks

    It's supposed to be light, medium, & heavy guage picks in one pick. Check out the link below, they explain it better than I could

    I don't really use mine as different guage picks, I just really love how it feels.

    I have a bunch around somewhere...the green ones. When I had my wolfgang, this pick just seemed absolutely perfect. But I've since changed how I hold my pick and it's just not comfy for me any more. Pretty neat design though.

    I went through a phase of liking them.

    I still use them on occasion with my acoustic, as it lets me loosen my grip and get the feeling of a less heavy pick when strumming, whilst still being able to have something relatively stiff for playing lead lines

    I use them on acoustic and really like the added dynamic possibilities they give, but on electric they don´t do it for me.

    Oh yeah, the notches make them stay under the strings when not in use perfectly!

    I have one and never figured out exactly how to use them properly. I buy nothing, but 1.18mm Dunlop Ultex and haven't looked back

    I've tried the Dava....didn't do it for me either. I'm on the Ultex bandwagon now.

    I think they're alright, wasn't much different for me either way though.

    How would this be different than holding a regular pick in a different spot?
