The perfect balance of flex and force. They strum with ease, yet attack harshly when you want them to. This is a pick for those who want their clean tone to have some bite. No distortion necessary.

I have literally tried hundreds of different shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and material construction picks. You name it, I've tried it. These 0.69 gauge copper flex are my very favorite. I've been using them for at least 15 years, and bought this pack just in case I lose a few. Under the microscope of playing loud and clean in my studio, I have found that there is very slight tonal variation between pieces when I compare the 10 in the pack - some are very good, and others are unbelievably sublime, with clarity/articulation, chime and punch that no other pick can approach.

Medium/Light picks arrived after 2 months ! Presumably Covid19 related delays. The picks feel thinner than expected. But they work well. One side is scratchy, the other smooth. Due to them being machine punched out? I smoothed the scratchy side with a fine file and 2000grit paper.
The sound is pleasingly metallo-harmonic-musical! I love it. It works like a EQ!! All the mud is gone! Clarity is up two notches. Wound string twang is unmatched. Great for clean and country twang. Plain strings did not sound icepicky as expected but pleasantly round and super clear . Ringy. I got super tones by turning down the tone knob.
The picks are very flexible but I can work well with them. Grips well too.
They are a great addition and option to expand the tone options. Will be ordering more, especially the heavier ones.

The metal pick gives an edge to your guitar tone that plastic plectrums cannot. Using a lighter gauge gives flexibility that is indestructible to the pick. It increases the dynamic range and clarity of your playing along with undeniable brightness to the sound of your metal strings. I highly recommend this plectrum for a tonal clarity you haven’t heard yet.

I've been using the medium copper flex exclusively for years now. They have exactly the right amount of snap and flexibility to cover a wide range of playing styles. The copper develops a patina very quickly that has a stickiness similar to a Post-it notepad which keeps it from slipping away (unlike stainless steel which is slicker than snot on a doorknob).
Unfortunately, copper is softer than guitar strings so the picks wear down over time. I think the ideal invention would be a *thin* stainless steel pick with a copper plating. It doesn't look like anyone makes something like that so I'll have to use these until then.
On the down side, attempts to get anyone at IcePix to respond to questions or complaints have been fruitless. I mean zip, nada, no response at all. These things are $1.50 each and contain less copper than a penny... surely they can hire someone to answer emails?

I got my first copper flex pick over 15 years ago, and have been using it ever since. In fact, since getting that first one, I have tried literally hundreds of different materials and shapes of picks, and keep coming back to my favorite thin flex copper. Why? The articulation of this pick is unrivaled. No clackity plastic sounds, no dull tonal mush - just brilliant full-range clarity. And durability!! One pick has lasted at least 15 years. I've finally ordered some backups, just in case I live to be over 160 years old ;^)

Bought these before as hot lick pics were discontinued and these were the same gauge I used so thought they were fab, only thing is I can’t seem to source them here in the uk but it’s easy enough to order them from the USA , so I think they’re are good as or better than the hot licks.

I bought these because Dunlop stopped making the HotLicks picks. These are a little thinner than the ones I am used to, more in line with what I would expect from a "thin" pick. I need to re-order for some medium equivalent picks. These will do quite nicely in the mean time.
Despite what others say, copper picks do not shred strings. They can shred the coating off of the strings, if you use coated strings. I play bluegrass, sometimes I strum hard. No damage to strings...

Great find as thin metal picks are next to impossible to find. They allow so much flexibility and thus strumming dynamics.

Brought out my #7 Hot Licks picks recently.
Forgot how much I liked them. Since they are no longer available I decided to try the med-light Copper Ice Pix.Worked great,even easier to grip with the slots. Thumbs up endorsement.
