I have scoured the forums looking for help with this subject but I seem to be getting a different problem than what others are encountering so any help would be greatly appreciated. 
I am running Windows 7 PC with a fully updated version of Pro Tools 9. I am using the Axe FX II for recording & playback. I can hear my guitar & the all of the Pro Tools tracks when playing back a mix and monitoring through the Axe Fx II headphone jack.
My goal is to plug straight into my Axe Fx II, monitor through it's headphones jack, and record a "wet" track & a "dry" track (for re-amping purposes obviously) simultaneously via the USB connection. It seemed like a simple & straightforward process and, also, eliminated extra audio interfaces & cables. In my case, the SIMPLER the BETTER!!!
I created two stereo tracks in Pro Tools 9 - one set to Inputs 1-2 (for the "wet" track) & the 2nd set to record Inputs 3-4 (for the "dry" track). The problem is that I cannot get any sort of input signal to Inputs 1-2 (the "wet" track) unless I set the USB/DIGI Output in the Axe Fx II to Input 1. BUT.....when I do that it creates a massive "latency issue"......sounds like a massively wet rock-a-billy slapback on the guitar & there is no way to record with that kind of latency throwing the timing off.
I have read the manual over & over and also tried things that people have added to this forum but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. I probably am doing something wrong or have some settings wrong but I am stumped. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me!!
