USB
USB support is Audio Class 2.0 compliant. There's support for:
- Editing and remote control via Axe-Edit (no MIDI interface required).
- Audio communication (no audio interface required, except when using analog audio).
- Use as an exclusive USB-to-MIDI interface for other products (in I/O > MIDI set USB ADAPTER MODE to ON).
Editing and recording can be done simultaneously.
Drivers
Drivers for Mac and PC which add USB support are available for download here. Note: ignore the options in the driver's control panel. Source
Latency
When monitoring audio via the Axe-Fx II there's no latency. When monitoring the audio signal via the computer's output, latency is determined by the computer's capabilities. 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
