Oh that's probably why you consider them "thin" picks, right?Lol sorry i got 100 things on the go atm. ya i will try the nylon but they are much thicker than the edge of the prodigy
Thickness or thinness isn't the ONLY factor here, material also matters, but it's more the "body" of the pick, and not how thin it is right on the edge where it tapers to a point or near point, because that's a fairly large determinant of how much the pick flexes when it hits the string. All else equal, a thinner pick will flex a little more than a thick one. Since pick chirp is basically the edge of the pick "fretting" the string on impact, a thinner pick will, from the perspetive of the string, flex more and exert less force against it, minimizing the degree to which it kinda "frets" the string on impact. A softer material will deaden the effect, which is why the red Jazz III, made out of a nylon material, tends to have a softer pick attack that doesn't chirp, even though it's I think the same thickness as what you're using.
If you have the material, then try to find some sort of Ultex/Ultem/whatever pick where the shape works for you but it's 1.0mm thick or thinner. For me that's kind of the cutover point. One of the mixed thickness bags of Dunlop Flows might be worth a shot.
