According to a 2015 Premier Guitar article, Hillel used gray 1.00 mm Dunlop picks. However, in most of the photos of Hillel available online where he can be seen using a pick, it’s practically always an orange pick – which would most likely be a Dunlop Orange Tortex 0.60 mm, the same pick John Frusciante uses.
Slovak used a number of pedals, including a Univox Super-Fuzz, a Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, an MXR Distortion+, and a Boss CE-2 Chorus. He usually strung his guitars with .010 sets and used gray 1.00 mm Dunlop picks
Forgotten Heroes: Hillel Slovak
Since we don’t know the source that Premier Guitar used in their article, we’ll leave the option of that being true open. But again, photos clearly show Hillel using Dunlop Tortex 0.60 mm orange guitar picks.
