Strings and picks: In 2003 Ernie Ball released that Thrice used Ernie Ball strings. However the article only says the gauges that the other guys use. Can anyone confirm that Dustin uses Ernie Ball strings also? As far as picks go, there is a picture on the net that shows him singing into a mic that has yellow picks and green picks on it. They look like Dunlop Tortex .73mm picks.

Dustin no longer runs a Mesa. He runs a Vox AC30, and occasionally runs the Marshall. Also he has stripped his live effects down to a Line 6 M13 and Boss Tu-2

That's lead guitarist Teppei Teranishi, a beyond perfect blend of playing skill and writing talent. He's also a genius as far as effects are concerned. Also, I'm almost possitive Dustin uses a Triple Rectifier, not a Dual.

Yes, Dustin used Dunlop Tortex picks, I met him at Warped Tour 09 and he gave me and my friend a pick, It was this type...
