Great picks. Absolutely love the way they fit my fingers and give me lots of tonal options.
Excellent picks that fo exactly what the say the are designed to do and do it well. Worth trying for sure
The most overlooked piece
of gear on your board.
Players spend thousands on guitars, amps, and pedals — then use a $0.50 piece of smooth plastic to connect it all. The pick is the first point of contact in your entire signal chain.
Signal chain starts here
Before your pickups, before your amp — the pick is where your tone begins. An ordinary pick gives you one sound. An engineered pick gives you a spectrum.
Surface geometry = sonic character
The shape, texture, and structure of the tip determine how the string vibrates. Different surfaces excite different harmonics — that's physics, not marketing.
Grip changes everything
A pick that slips costs you dynamics, speed, and confidence. Engineered grip surfaces let you hold lighter, play faster, and stay locked in.

Same string. Same riff.
Different pick.
When an ordinary pick strikes a string, it produces a fundamental note plus limited overtones. When an AttakPik strikes, the engineered surface excites additional harmonics — more complexity, more richness.

AttakPik — enhanced harmonic spectrum

We developed two distinct patented surface systems — each solving a different sonic problem for a different kind of player.
System 01 — Patented
Beveled Apex
The Stealth Series
The Stealth series uses a patented beveled structure — an angled slope to an apex point, covered in engineered layers. This isn't ridges or bumps. It's geometry.
The bevel creates different "gears" depending on how you hold the pick. Angle it one way for smooth sweeping. Shift your grip and the attack character changes. One pick, multiple voices.
1
Beveled tip meets string
The angled slope creates a controlled contact zone that changes based on your attack angle.
2
Layers shape the response
The layered surface adds tonal complexity at the moment of contact — warmth, brightness, or aggression depending on pressure.
3
Grip locks you in
The concave grip zone with raised matrix nodes means the pick stays exactly where you put it. Zero slip at any speed.

System 02 — Patented
Ridged Tip
Attak · Blade · Surge & More
The ridged-tip system uses micro-engineered ridges at the pick tip that create multiple string contact points per strike. An ordinary pick has one smooth contact. These have many.
Those extra contacts excite harmonic overtones that a smooth surface physically cannot produce. Richer, more textured tone — more of what your guitar is capable of.
1
Ridges engage the string
Multiple micro-ridges contact the string simultaneously, exciting vibrations at different frequencies.
2
Harmonics stack
The extra vibrations layer onto your fundamental note — adding warmth, brightness, or percussive texture.
3
Texture meets grip
Textured body surfaces keep the pick locked in your fingers while the ridged tip does the tonal work.
Models using this system:
The pick stays where
you put it. Period.
Every AttakPik model features engineered grip surfaces — specific patterns designed for how players actually hold picks under real conditions.
Matrix Nodes
Raised contact points in a concave zone that cradle your thumb and finger
Sweat-Proof
Surface texture maintains grip even when your hands are wet on stage
Less Clamping
Hold lighter, play longer — the grip does the work so your hand doesn't
Speed-Rated
Zero rotation or drift at any tempo — shred, sweep, tremolo, all locked
A musician with an
engineer's brain.
AttakPik wasn't born in a factory. It was born from frustration — a player who couldn't find the right pick, who happened to have degrees from Carnegie Mellon and RPI that gave him the tools to build it.
Every model took months — some took years — of R&D. Devin Townsend was part of the process. This isn't a gimmick born from a marketing meeting. It's obsession turned into a product.
"I'm on the ultimate tone journey. And I want to bring everyone along with me to discover these new things."
— Michael DePietro, Founder
Skeptical? Good.
We were too.
The best players question everything. Here are the questions we hear most.
Is this actually real or is it a gimmick?
We get it — a pick with ridges sounds like a gimmick. But 175,000+ players across 70+ countries and 2.5 million picks sold says otherwise. The technology is patented. The sound difference is measurable. And most players who try one never go back to an ordinary pick.
What's the difference between the two systems?
The Beveled Apex system (Stealth series) uses geometry — an angled slope to a precision point that gives you different tonal "gears" depending on your hold angle. The Ridged Tip system (Attak, Blade, Surge) uses micro-ridges that excite harmonics on contact. Different tools for different goals.
Will this work with my playing style?
We have 20+ models across both systems — from thin flexible picks for acoustic strumming to 3.33mm heavy picks for metal. Jazz, blues, metal, bass — the range covers everyone. Take the 60-second Pick Finder quiz to get matched.
How long do they last?
Longer than you'd expect. The Stealth series v2.0 durability upgrade significantly extended lifespan. Materials are reinforced and engineered for wear resistance. Picks are consumable — which is why we offer packs and bundles.
Which one should I start with?
Speed and control? Start with the Stealth or Stealth III. Richer harmonics? Try the Surge or Attak. Not sure? Take the Pick Finder quiz — 60 seconds, instant match. Or grab a Starter Bundle and try both systems.
