COOL Beta Carbonate Thumb Pick-Large
Project Description
WITH A “COOLCELL RUBBERIZED GRIP ™
100% CELLULOID AND THE DISPLAY COMES WITH 300 PICKS
ACROSS THE 3 MOST POPULAR GAUGES.
0.50, 0.75, 1.00
COOLCELL® RUBBERIZED ACCU-GRIP PICK ™
For many years, celluloid has been the choice of guitarists worldwide. Most have used them in a dark tortoise shell color with a popular guitar manufacturer’s logo on it. Our COOLCELLpicks are made of 100% celluloid in a white mother of pearl shell coloring. Our goal was to make a celluloid pick which would offer the guitarist as much gripping power
as they need at any time during a performance. Not too little, not too much, but just enough without getting in the way.
We at cool music know that no two guitarists are alike and that is why the revolutionary COOLCELL Rubberized Accu-Grip™ pick was created. It is truly a smart guitar pick. This pick design actually will change its gripping texture to give the dry, wet, or even slimy fingered guitarist the proper grip at all times. No matter how bad your flop-sweat or nerves on that special gig may be, you will not lose your pick while playing those super fast cool lead lines.
If you are now playing another celluloid pick, you owe it to yourself to… “TRY THIS PICK”!!!
It is important for you to realize that this pick will actually change its feel dynamically as you need it! While you play!
That is, if you start playing dry and end your song or set with moist fingers the pick will get grippier as you need it.
Now that’s cool!
The Secret:
This pick’s texture is a micro-porous and slightly nubby heat sensitive rubberized compound. This patented compound mixture is applied to the pick using a special cryogenic process. This application process allows the COOLCELL™ pick to successfully morph from a very smooth slightly nubby surface (cool environments) to a very grippy softer and stickier grip (hot or wet environments) This cryo- process allows the pick to continue to change from hot to cold and back again without distorting the nubby texture or compromising the overall sound of the pick.

RØDE NT1 5th Generation Studio Condenser Microphone
The RØDE NT1-A 1″ cardioid condenser microphone has become an industry standard; delivering the warmth, extended dynamic range, clarity and high SPL capability typically only featured on some of the world’s most expensive microphones.
With a self-noise level of only 5dBA it is widely recognized (along with the NT1) as one the world’s quietest studio microphones. This low noise makes it an ideal vocal microphone as well as perfect for recording guitars and percussion.
Packaged in the ‘Complete Vocal Recording Solution’, the NT1-A includes everything you need to get a truly professional vocal recording and is ideal for home studio recording.
A studio grade pop shield and shock mount is included, along with a premium 20′ microphone cable, dust cover, and an downloadable instructional video packed with recording tips.

Rode NT1 Kit 1″ Cardioid Condenser Microphone-includes NT1 and SM6 shock mount.
The NT1 is a revolutionary new 1″ diaphragm condenser microphone from RØDE.
Although the body of the new NT1 closely resembles the NT1-A, the microphone has been completely redesigned from the ground up, with the only shared component being the mesh grille.
RØDE’s design engineers approached the NT1 as a marriage of innovation and tradition, starting with the capsule which is a completely new design. Codenamed the HF6, it is the perfect example of RØDE’s fusion of artistic design approaches and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, and features a sound signature reminiscent of the famous microphones of old while at the same time exhibiting extremely low noise.
It has been developed with a focus on detailed midrange response, coupled with silky smooth high frequencies, and warm, round, bass reproduction to make the NT1 an absolute standout in its class.
In another world-first for RØDE, the transducer itself is suspended inside the microphone using Rycote’s industry-leading Lyre system, minimizing external vibrations at the capsule level. The capsule is then married to high-grade electronics that have been designed to provide the lowest noise level of any studio microphone available. The NT1 is an incredibly quiet microphone, measuring only 4.5dBA of self-noise.
Its body is machined from 6061 aluminium and then nickel plated for resistance against corrosion. Finally it is coated in a durable, military-grade ceramic layer, using advanced electrostatic application techniques developed by RØDE to ensure an extremely hard wearing finish that is resistant to scratches or marks.
The NT1 is supplied with the SM6, a high-quality suspension shockmount that provides isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. It includes a removable pop shield with two axes of adjustment and a telescopic arm for ultimate application versatility.
The NT1 is designed and made in Australia, and is covered by RØDE’s industry-leading 10 year warranty.
