4.2 Connection to a guitar amp
Instead of using the USB function of the guitar, you can also use
the guitar the same way as a conventional electric guitar. To do
so, simply connect the ¼" TS connector ({3}) to a guitar amp
instrument input. This gives you the opportunity to play without a
computer, for example, when jamming with your band.
The conventional guitar output works independently from the USB
connector, meaning you can simultaneously play via the USB
port and a guitar amp. This way, you can set up a means of direct
monitoring to avoid latency problems.
The advantage of this setup is that while listening to the sound
coming from your guitar amp, you can record a clean guitar
sound.
Using plug-ins, you can experiment with different effects and
amplifiers afterwards.

4.3 Using the iAXE with a BEHRINGER V-AMP
If you're in need of latency-free monitoring during multitrack recor-
ding, then the BEHRINGER V-AMP is the ideal partner for your
iAXE. Make the connections as follows:
= Connect your iAXE to the V-AMP's instrument input using a
standard instrument cable.
= Connect the iAXE's headphone output to the V-AMP's aux
input using a balanced cable with stereo phone jacks.
This allows you to use the V-AMP's aux level control to adjust the
playback volume.
To record the guitar, connect your iAXE to the computer using the
USB cable. You can set up your prefered monitoring sound on
the V-AMP and record the dry, unprocessed guitar sound on your
computer. For this purpose you should use a sequencing software,
for example the program energyXT2 Compact which can be found
on the CD-ROM included with the iAXE package.

With both connection options—the common guitar output and
the additional USB output—a variety of applications are at your
disposal. The well-known ¼" output jack can be connected to
the input of your guitar amplifier as usual. With the help of the
integrated USB interface you turn your computer into an ultimate
recording studio.
Whether for studio application or practicing at home, the audio
connections used always remain the same:
For connecting your iAXE USB-Guitar to your guitar amplifier, you
need a standard instrument cable.
