==How do I connect my guitar==
 
 
# The front panel input uses a proprietary circuit and dedicated A/D converter for low noise. Always use the front input for guitar, whether wired or wireless. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/35997-axe-fx-ii-technical-questions-thread-24.html#post491050 Source]
 
# The front input does not disable the rear input (different from Standard/Ultra). Use the menu to select either the front or the rear for Input 1. You can leave everything plugged in. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/35997-axe-fx-ii-technical-questions-thread-22.html#post490982 Source]
 
# The front input impedance is 1 Mohm, or less if Input Impdance is adjusted.
 
# All rear analog inputs are balanced like the onboard XLR outputs. The inputs detect whether the incoming signal is balanced or not.
 
# Do not use speaker cable to connect to the 1/4" inputs.
 
 
==How do I connect a wireless receiver==
 
 
The same way as with your guitar: to the front input, to take advantage of the front input's "special sauce" for noise reduction. The rear inputs (both 1 and 2) operate at line level, the front input operates at instrument level.
 
 
== How do I set the input level(s)==
 
 
Instead of knobs on the front panel, there are soft Input knobs in the I/O menu. The input levels are controlled via digitally-controlled potentiometer. These work globally, not per preset. The setting doesn't affect the input gain of the Amp and Drive blocks.

==Can I connect a music player==
 
 
Yes, connect the player to the USB slot. The signal will be mixed into the output signal. Adjust the volume on the player. [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/showthread.php?t=35997&p=490273&viewfull=1#post490273 Source]
