Fractal Audio's drive modeling has been improved in firmware Ares 3.02 and later. 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 models in earlier firmware, including the AX8, FX8 and Axe-Fx II.
