Yeks Guide to the Fractal Audio Drive Models

Forum member Yek (Alexander van Engelen) discusses all Drive models (at the time of writing) in his 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 the Drive block wiki page.

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