Forum member Yek (Alexander van Engelen) describes all Drive models in his Guide to the Fractal Audio Drive Models (PDF).
Current edition: March, 2019.
The guide was preceded by a series of threads on Fractal Audio's user forum. Forum member Simviz assisted with migrating the contents of the threads to a PDF guide. The guide is updated periodically.
Brief information about the Drive models is also available on this wiki page.
Important: Fractal Audio's modeling of drives has been improved in firmware Ares 3.02 and later for the Axe-Fx III. Gain, output level, characteristics and tone may have changed. So, tips and information in the current guide may not apply to Drive types in earlier firmware, including the AX8, FX8 and Axe-Fx II. For those devices, please refer to the November 2018 edition of this guide: click here.

Simple "Drive + Amp + Cab" presets are available to demonstrate most Drive models. Use FracTool to convert them if necessary.
