Yeks Guide to the Fractal Audio Drive Models

Forum member Yek (Alexander van Engelen) discusses all Drive models (at the time of writing) in: Guide to the Fractal Audio Drive Models (pdf)

The guides were preceded by a series of threads on Fractal Audio's user forum. Because Fractal Audio keeps improving their drive modeling through firmware updates, there were two versions of the guide:

• July 2022, for Axe-Fx III, FM9 and FM3
• November 2018, for Axe-Fx III prior to firmware 3.02, and Axe-Fx II, FX8, AX8

Yek stopped updating the guide in 2022. The contents have been migrated into this wiki page: Drive block

Yek supplied simple presets to demonstrate most Drive models, and sometimes updates them. Find them here
