The Axe-Fx II's USB support is Audio Class 2.0 compliant. The USB interface supports:
- Editing / remote control via Axe-Edit (no need for a MIDI interface)
- Audio communication (no need for an audio interface)
- Use as an exclusive USB-to-MIDI interface for other products (in the I/O > MIDI menu set "USB ADAPTER MODE" to ON).
Editing and recording can be done simultaneously.
Mac: there's no need to install any drivers except for the firmware loader for the USB chip (it is a "soft" processor and downloads its code from the host on start-up). On PCs Audio Class 2.0 drivers need to be installed.
The Axe-Fx II cannot connect to a USB stick. Source
Upgrading the Axe-Fx II firmware can be done over USB or via a separate MIDI interface.
