Product Description

Finally metal meets plastic. Diva patented master control pick is the only pick to combine a metal edge with plastic flexibility. From the lightest chimes to the heaviest metal and back again, this pick has it all. The nickel silver Tip is made from the same material as guitar fret wire. If you bend notes you know how slippery frets get. It's the same for the pick, really smooth and really fast.

I LOVE THIS PICK

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

All I can say is WOW, I LOVE THIS PICK!!! I have been playing the DAVA Jazz grips for a few months now and those were easily my favorite. Until yesterday, when the Dava 0109 Master Control arrived. This thing is so cool. It looks like a tiny spaceship and definitely takes your playing out of this world. I've only been jamming with it for a short time so far but I have noticed a few features that I find really exciting about this pick.

The first thing I noticed when I started playing is the grip. It feels like it molds perfectly to my thumb and index finger in a very comfortable way. The pick is quite flexible but the nickel plated tip is very sturdy as it hits the string. It was a little jarring at first to be honest but after a couple of hours working around with it I found that the sturdy but flexible nature of this pick offers a very high level of control. Another cool feature is that the nickel plating gives your sound a really nice attack whether playing chords or single note stuff. It can be a little twangy sounding through a really clean channel but a sleight adjustment in technique can clean that right up. (maybe that's what your looking for)

I think that this pick improves the quality of the sound produced and also offers a variety of tonal options that I haven't found in any others. I gave this pick 5 STARS because I really feel like it has already made my playing sound better.

NICE Pick for Stringed Instruments

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2012

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I collect picks (or plectrums if you're a purist) and I do so for a good reason: I don't use the same pick for the same sort of playing style. I tend to use some picks for jazz; some for blues; some for metal and so on. Not all picks are made the same & some are far better than others.

The Dava Master Control Pick (DMCP) is a very nice & useful pick. I've been enjoying it for heavy strumming (or as the metalheads call it, "chuggin'"). I like its thin center and the way it is overall contoured which makes holding it a delight to my forefinger & thumb.

Another thing I really like about it is the metal tip which some folks may not enjoy as it does give a bit of a metallic tone when it touches the strings. This is especially true when you've just replaced your old guitar's strings for new ones. Depends on how you like it or not whether you like that metallic ting - I do for certain passages.

The pick's construction seems to be fairly rigid & yet it has potential to do more than merely chug again on the low E & A strings. DMCP is definitely a plectrum that I will be using a lot of in the future and not just for hard core metal but also for subtle tones in jazz passages with the distortion off.

Overall I give the DMCP 5 out of 5 stars for being what it claimed it was and for being something that I will find great utility for in years to come.

I really love the way these picks feel - I didn't necessarily ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I really love the way these picks feel - I didn't necessarily find my playing technique improving with the other dava picks (the ones with rubber), however with this pick it definitely did. The way your hand just meshes with this pick is amazing. The only downside they have, in my opinion, is that they use plastic instead of rubber. However, after ordering some monster grips from amazon, I found they fit nearly perfectly in the middle section of this pick, and if placed well (I only place on one side), keeps the over all feel of the master control picks (I also have done this with the delrin version of this pick) but with more friction. These have definitely displaced the dava jazz picks as my favorite pick. The nickle silver material is pretty interesting sounding as well, and a nice tool to have at my disposal.

Stiffer and that's good..

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2017

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

Update : Decided to give it (Master Control Nickel thing) a second chance , and get used to it if possible. My first review was positive, but I just wasn't won over. I now love this thing and have ordered more. Just needed a little time to come around. I find it just as desirable for strumming as anything else. My initial gripe was that they...for some reason, made the grip area on these from a smooth feeling somewhat harder plastic, not the desirable sticky/ tacky silicone rubber(?) feel that I've come to prefer on their other picks. So...simple fix: hit the pick (grip area) with some 120 grit sand paper...and Whalah - NICE NOW!

Not sure yet how much degrade / wear is increased as regards to string wear , but I'm not seeing a problem yet, after 2 weeks.

Subtle differences...

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2011

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I always use thicker picks for a sharper attack and more clearly defined notes. My main pick is a 2.0mm stainless steel one. The plastic pick I use (3.0mm) could be used as a bass pick. So, I didn't have a lot of expectations when I purchased this.

I'm happy to say that I did notice a subtle difference right away when I started playing, using this pick. It requires a slightly different technique than using a very stiff pick, as it has some give in the midsection, but I can see that it might lend a few more MPH to my picking speed, eventually...

I gave it four stars only because it's too early to tell if it will :)

Sounds great, feels great, too.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I'm a finger style player who had to teach himself to use a pick. I think I was 'experimenting' with 'new' brands when I came across this one and liked it right away. It doesn't, necessarily, sound 'metallic', to me, more like 'crisp, assertive'. It has slight indentation and grooves, on both sides, I found helpful for positioning, comfort, secure grip. It can be a bit of an indulgence, price wise, definitely a boutique-ish dote at $3.50 for a single pick. Can be bought in quantity packs, though, for less.

Aggressive!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2023

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I used to use the red Delrin Dava pick, bought this on a whim and it's now my goto little beastie!

It definitely changes the sound, in my case for the better as I play Drop C tuned metalcore. The pick itself has not worn or changed shape after quite a bit of playing.... the strings on the other hand have slightly changed shade of silver where I hit them. Not sure if that's the coating wearing off or not.

Very comfy and as the other Davas, has the multiple ribs on it so you can hold it further up for more control or further back for a more flexible feel.

Next purchase is going to be a pack of these so when I inevitably lose this one I'll have a replacement!

Un très bon son sur guitare folk

Reviewed in France on October 14, 2021

Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

Un pick en métal... je l'avais pris à l'origine pour tenter l'expérience sur ma 7 cordes électrique. AU final un son qui "râcle" un peu trop sur les cordes et un peu gros pour être précis. Par contre c'est devenu mon préféré sur guitare folk.

Les plus :
- une attaque différente, tout en ayant une prise en main facile, un bon grip
- glisse très bien sur les cordes
- la forme le rend tout de même assez précis
Les défauts :
- le même que tous les picks... Si votre chat aime jouer avec de petits objets, vous vous retrouverez à le chercher partout dans la maison...
- Un peu cher
- s'use en faisant des petites barbes de métal qu'il faut retirer / lisser
