Re: Blue Chip thoughts
When comparing the CT-55 with the Pro Plec you're comparing very different picks. The Pro Plec is one of the warmest and softest sounding picks on the market. The CT-55 would be one of the brighter ones, mainly because of the more pronounced bevel. Sblock is correct about the bevel. If you were to buy a TAD 60 with a standard bevel and compare it to the TAD 60 with a rounded edge you will find a big difference in the brightness. The bevel makes it brighter and the CT-55 has a deeper bevel than the other Blue chips. the Pro Plec has no bevel and is made from a softer sounding material. If you're accustomed to the tone from the Pro Plec, the CT-55 will be very different. At the very least, I would think the Blue Chip would be much louder.
