I’m a skeptic about many things but was seduced by the advert and wanted to buy something guitar related. I have been shocked by the difference these make.
Firstly, I hold the pick MUCH more lightly. I’m immediately happy I’m not going to drop it. That makes a huge dig to how tired my hand gets and to the tone and dynamics available to me
Second- such a difference in transients! How much of this is because of my earlier observation, I don’t know, but a huge difference in attack which has taken some getting used to.
Really pleased and I’ve spent lots more money on guitar related stuff (GAS) that made far less difference
Torq XL
Torq XL is the Torq scaled up — the same multinode twist grip and beveled apex tip in a larger body, for players who want more surface to hold or the control that bigger hands and bass demand. The twist grip locks in; the extra body gives you more to lock onto.
- Larger body than the standard Torq — more surface to grip without touching the tip geometry that makes it fast
- Multinode twist grip locks the pick between thumb and finger and resists rotation under heavy attack — no spin, no regrip, no fatigue
- Patented beveled apex tip glides across strings with minimal resistance — sweep arpeggios, tremolo, and alternate picking at speed stay clean and consistent
- 2mm thickness delivers authority without rigidity — firm enough to drive heavy strings, controlled enough for fast single-note work
- The extra body suits bigger hands and bass positions — more leverage and hold for players who want more pick between their fingers
"The name is the mechanism. Torque is rotational force, so we built a grip that turns that force into hold — bear down harder and the pick digs in instead of slipping out."
— Mike DePietro, Founder, Acoustik AttakSpecifications
