If you experience noise (high freq. buzzing) when using an USB connection it may be 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." [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii/38038-usb-noise.html#post520349 Source]

The Axe-Fx II's USB support is Audio Class 2.0 compliant. The USB interface supports:

  1. Editing / remote control via Axe-Edit (no need for a MIDI interface)
  2. Audio communication (no need for an audio interface)
  3. 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. The Axe-Fx II cannot connect to a USB stick. Source
