The Sound in Numbers

Same guitar. Same riff. Same signal chain. The only variable is the pick. Every number below is measured, not estimated.

What This Pick Adds

Each colored layer is a different playing style — single notes, strummed chords, full performance. The spread between layers is the dynamics-responsive effect.
