The guide was preceded by a series of threads on Fractal Audio's user forum. Here's the current thread.
The guide is updated periodically.
Brief information about the Drive models is also available on this wiki page: Drive block.

Because of this, two editions of the guide are available:
Example page:
Download demonstration presets
Simple presets are provided to demonstrate most Drive models.
The presets were created on an Axe-Fx III with firmware v20.01.
Most presets will work on FM3 and FM9, but some blocks may not import.
