Fractal Audio's drive modeling has been improved in firmware for the Axe-Fx III, FM9 and FM3. Gain, output levels, characteristics and tone have changed, depending on the model. So, tips and information for the current firmware may not apply to the Drive models in earlier firmware for the Axe-Fx III, AX8, FX8 and Axe-Fx II.
 
 
 
Because of this, two editions of the guide are available:
