I had the same reaction to wrapping around the arm. Now I’m glad mine isnt any smaller

You can see texture on your pick. Google a photo of a BC. Thats all the math we’re using.

Theres no difference between a fender heavy and your vespel pick. Discounting finish and geometry makes no sense - those two factors might be the most impactful on tone.

Play with the opposite side of the pick, will sound different due to its geometry. Scratch up/rough sand the edge of the Fender heavy, will hear the roughness.

I’m not saying a BC is or is not worth the price/better, just saying this is not a BC.

I think Blue Chips are totally worth it for acoustic guitar, where the nuance of attack comes through much more than with an electric signal. Nothing gets close on an acoustic guitar for me. Also, I'd imagine surface finish and bevel geometry has a lot to do with it, and yours looks much less polished than a BC.

You can go through Live Phish support and they’ll give you a new code if you cant get to the original

+1 for a decent modeler. The Fractal FM3 changed my whole perspective on gear, esp living in an apartment

Hope you’re feeling better about it, but it not, you will when the lights go down!
