Drivers
- Drivers for Mac and PC which add USB support are available for download here.
- The USB driver's control panel should not be used for configuration. Error messages when clicking on those can be ignored. Source1 Source2
No MIDI interface or audio interface required
When using the USB interface, there's no need for an additional audio interface. An audio interface is still required when connecting the analog Axe-Fx II outputs to a computer.
A MIDI interface is also not required to connect the Axe-Fx II to a computer. USB suffices (MIDI-over-USB) and the Axe-Fx II itself already is an USB-to-MIDI adapter. MIDI interfaces can still be used though, and editing with the help of a MIDI interface is also still possible.
Latency
Latency:
- when monitoring audio via the Axe-Fx II: none.
- when monitoring the audio signal via the computer's output: depends on computer. Source
Noise
High-pitched noise may be caused by a ground loop.
Cliff: "The USB spec calls for grounding the cable at both ends (mistake). This can create a ground loop. Make sure everything is plugged into the same outlet strip." Source
Dry tracks
If you're recording with the use of an application which uses the system selected input (all 4 channels), you will end up with a recording that also contains the dry tracks. The Axe-Fx II currently doesn't let you mute the dry tracks. Source
USB media
The Axe-Fx II cannot connect to a USB stick. Source
