The manual covers everything, from requirements and installation, to configuration and usage. Therefore, the information in the manual will not be repeated on this page.

Third-party audio interfaces

ICONS needs an audio interface to allow signal from the instrument to enter the computer, and if necessary, to monitor the audio output. This can be a Fractal Audio device that supports USB Audio (Axe-Fx, FM3, FM9, AM4, VP4), or a 3rd party product.

This section discusses third-party audio interfaces and provides tips to optimize the interaction with ICONS. Over time information will be added to this section.

Amp, cab and effects
