"A cute trick, but crappy quality"
The only song I know with a 12-string electric in it is Rush's Xanadu, so I let 'er rip. Sounded good. I had alot of fun playing around with it. However, after an hour or so of goofing around I noticed two things that really ticked me off. Firstly, the outer tines had already broken. The tines look like a wound steel guitar string, but the core is very brittle. They didn't completely fall off, they just hung there like limp whatevers. Secondly, the plastic p'up cover and pick guard looked like they had been scrubbed with a wire brush. I can easily fix those, but I wonder what such an abrasive pick will do to the strings if I play it alot. It looks like you can only strum on the down stroke. Videos of the jellyfish website confirm this. The problem is you're going against the grain on the upstroke and it catches on the strings. How much fun is it to only play down strokes? It's kind of hard grasp, too. It needs a thumb dimple.

I'm going to make one using more flexible wound guitar stings to see if its any better.

If you've got $10 to blow, go ahead and get one.

"lousy.. not worth the buy"
lousiest 10 dollars i spent. the tips are already bent and thats at maybe 10 minutes or so of fooling around with it. ive tried it with multiple guitars and the effects and theres no such thing as this thing getting a "bow" effect. i dunno. scratchy. i dont recommend this at all. ive been playing the guitar for about 13 years now.

"nothing to write home about !"
The Jellifish is no replacement for a twelve string guitar. You can not play it fast, it is fragile, and the tone is scratchy. That being said it can be used to make some interesting sounds for color in rhythm and slow lead playing. It is not something I would use often. My 1.00 mm Clayton feels and sounds great after after a few minutes of playing the Jellifish. After one hour of use the Jellifish is starting to show signs of wear and tear. So don't say you weren't warned.

"Fun for me, but not for everyone."
Well, for me it's a curious thing.

The Jellifish changes a lot the texture of the pluck when you strum or do arpeggios but it's a little fragile.

I like it so that I play with it a lot of time since I bought it but I have a strong strumming stile so the tires, the largest ones, are breaking from the root. This is not a flaw of the Jellifish, they are very clear about that to produce the sounds they say it's better to do it by light strum and picking. It's just that I get emotional when I play, jajaja.

I also founded a way to use it as a physical cello bow. Note this pick is for textures cause it not produces an effect like a pedal.

It's a smart product that could bring some new life in your playing, but only if you're open minded and don't expect a pick and neither a pedal effect kind of sound.

I only want I always have a new one available, they have a 6 month lifetime I read somewhere in the jellifish page.



"My Favorite Xmas Present"
Hello! I just got this new device for Christmas. I had never seen one before, but I guess they've been around for a while. Well, let me just say that this is the best gift I got this year even though it only came in my stocking. I have had more fun with the Jellifish than with anything else I got this year -- I'm just fascinated that this little guy can change your tone so big! Anywho, I would say that it's definitely not for beginners. You need to be a real player to understand how to use it. Why didn't somebody come out with something like this a long time ago is what I'm wondering! Is there a user group for sharing tips and licks?

What our customer's say!

"Not Quite Christ in Pick Form", The three instructional/promotional videos on the Jellifish website all conclude with the specious prediction that the Jellifish "may just make guitar picks obsolete."

To anyone with a pulse, this should sound like hyperbole, and with good reason: it is. I can only hope that was the original intent of the statement.

For the uninitiated who happened to stumble upon this page, the Jellifish is a guitar pick that eschews the traditional flat, pointed edge of the traditional plectrum in favor of 18 "tines" of varying length. The idea is that these 18 tines strike each string individually, creating a "chorus" effect akin to a 12-string guitar. As an owner of both a 12-string guitar and a Jellifish pick, I can say that the contrast between the two sounds is stark, the latter being considerably less choruslike. Jellifish promotional material also alleges that the pick can simulate the sound of a bowed instrument and a hammered string, but each of these sounds is roughly as convincing as its 12-string imitation.

What the Jellifish CAN do is provide a warmer, more passive sound. The tines on the Jellifish are thin and delicate (so delicate that the packaging on the back cautions that "[a] feather-like touch is recommended when using the Jellifish"), and produce a mildly different, less abrasive sound than a normal pick -- however, the difference is subtle, to be sure. The other thing that the Jellifish offers is a sweeping sound that provides a nice additional percussive effect to the strumming and plucking of strings, but could also be seen as pretty irritating.

Overall, the marketing of the Jellifish grossly exaggerates the potential of the poor thing. I paid $10 for it in the hopes that it would sound significantly different from any other pick I'd ever used. Anyone who pays that price for a Jellifish, with the same hopes that I had, will probably be decidedly underwhelmed. Regardless, it DOES have some actual token uses. However, it seems fair to say that the Jellifish is not going to be supplanting the regular old pick anytime soon.

"Make your own - save $10!", There was some mention here about what these looked like... little pieces of guitar strings. If you play guitar, and invariably you do if you're reading these comments, you will have changed your strings right? Well, get yourself a little pair of wire cutters, a gas stove (or other appropriate heat source), and a big, thick guitar or bass pick. Cut some old strings about 1.5 inches long, heat the end in a flame and melt them into your newly purchased guitar pick. It takes some doing, but the end result is the same... and much cheaper than $10.

"DO NOT BUY", The jellifish breaks easily even if you are careful and read the instructions. It is so delicate it is rendered nearly unusable and is therefore impractical.
Its metal tines could also easily scratch the finish on your expensive guitar whether your finish is wood or metal. It is an interesting idea but it really should be made with stiff plastic tines, or if metal the tines should be made with tougher material that won't break, but how could they sell more then?

"Buena, pero...", Tiene su técnica, es de uso delicado. Buen sonido pero muy frágil, por lo que la relación precio/valor no es la adecuada. La compraría otra vez si bajan el costo. No sustituye el sonido de una 12 cuerdas, aunque si incrementa el brillo de una de 6.

"A Cleverly (But Misleadingly) Marketed Piece of Junk", Wish I had read the reviews here before dropping the 10 bucks. Feels like playing with a hacksaw blade. Esteban should be selling this thing on infomercials. Cheesh.

"Don't Waste Your Money!!!", I saw a lot of bad review about this crappy item, but like a silly guy I bought it! Be aware that it may be an nonreturnable item. If you were me, don't spend your money on this pick! Buy a real chorus gear.

"Should be in every serious guitarist's gig bag!", The Jellifish is the first radically new thing I've seen for guitar since the Ebow. I love innovative musical tools, and the Jellifish delivers. I am a guitar instructor and teach over 50 students a week from beginner to very advanced. I have had all of my students purchase the Jellifish because in order to get the Chorus! Pluck! and Bow! sounds you must master 3 picking styles that every guitarist should know how to use regardless. Specifically, a fluid, sweep picking technique will produce a lush chorusing effect that is a cross somewhere between a 12-string and a chorus pedal. Alternate picking, when done properly from the wrist, will produce the Pluck! effect, which somewhat sounds like a hammered dulcimer. And circular picking -- done from the thumb and forefinger -- will obtain a bowed effect that is very nice on slower, scalar patterns, but can also be used on arpeggios. 100 years from now, the Jellifish won't be novel, because every guitarist will use this the same as they do capos and slides. Minimal proficiency with this device is de rigueur for any serious student of the instrument.

"Most absolutely awful guitar product ever", You know how when a regular pick hits your strings, you can hear the sound of it hitting the string, then after it releases and the string reverberates you hear a note? Well imagine hearing 15 picks hit the string before the string produces music. And the 15 picks are made of coiled wire.

I can't imagine a worse sound or feeling.



"AWESOME!", I was shocked at the different sounds this thing makes. After just a few minutes the chorus sound was totall amazing, like a nice fluid bright 12 string, totally a cool toy for $10
