AFIII Ibanez TS10 vs Fractal TS

[Jon Kaneshiro]

Here’s a comparison video I made between my TS10 and the Fractal TS! I used the same preset parameters for each part of the video and ran the TS10 into the front of my FM9. They’re pretty close!

Verrrryyyyyyyyy close. almost identical for me. Interesting ! I loved my TS10, preferred it over the TS808. Very nice to add a little bit of something
to the tone..... Stevie Ray had one too, but I guess you know that. When I got my Fractal Unit , I sold it. Thank you for the comparison.

Of course! I’m glad you got the feeling they were almost identical too.

Not criticizing, just noting.

You thought the TS10 was brighter, but I thought the Fractal was. Mid highs, not high highs, but brighter was the impression I got.

At the time I was recording it I thought it was but listening back I think the Fractal is for sure. To me I think the TS10 might have a slight bit more compression too.

Thanks, maybe the only difference is in imagination

No, they're a bit different, you can hear it if you listen carefully

Everything is different from everything, and analog pedals are inherently different from digital simulations, even really good ones.

Doesn't mean one is "better" then three other or that you can't tweak them to be really close.
