The celluloid pick has brighter harmonics, the other one has no highs but emphasizes the mids & bass. Thick picks dampen tone especially the high end. Where you pick on the string affects the tone, the thicker the pick the more towards the neck, the thinner the pick the deeper into the string & closer to the bridge which releases higher harmonics. Also thicker picks empahasize more pressure on the fingers & knuckles where thinner ones allow the wrist to move more.
@asherasator it may be that the tone is dampened because the pick is a soft material not because its thickness - glass guitar picks are also thick but they are very hard and give a bright biting sound and can literally 'bite' into the string.. theres a few demos type 'glass pick'
@TheFixedGearRealms Thick picks screech bcus at the tip they're "rubbing" the string more than plucking, they create noise that the fundamental note can get lost in if other overtones are not evenly released. I've had hard stone picks they're no different than glass or thick polished materials. Thick picks force more power from the fingers & nuckles to make a note resonate. lighter picks use more of the wrist & forearm muscles which are more powerful & that affects the tone quality.
Did not retune the guitar, but funy you say that cos everyone keeps trowing the tuning machine at me while playing in groups also when I just tuned it (it's a bit of a cheap guitar sorry)
try the jazz 3 carbon fibre max grip.. you will never return to regular picks

@haedadru it sounded pretty out of tune the whole time to me. That nasty high e string.
