Create an Aggregate Device using the Audio MIDI Setup app found in the Utilities folder on your MAC.

Make sure you add your audio interface first and the AxeFX second. One gotcha regarding Aggregate devices is you have no control over how channels are assigned by core audio other than the order in which you add your devices to the aggregate.. Pay attention so core audio doesn’t re-assign your interface and your AXE I/Os to different channels from what you’re used to as they show up in logic the way they show in Audio MIDI setup.
I use a Focusrite 18i8. When added to the aggregate first, inputs 1-18 are assigned to channels 1-18 in core audio which show up as input channels 1-18 in logic. Outputs 1-8 show up as outputs 1-8. The Axe FX is added second and remaining input channels 19-20 and 21-22 are auto-assigned. They’re the two stereo outputs (4 channels total) from the AXE which carry the Direct and Effected signals into core audio and show up as input channels in Logic. The remaining outputs are auto-assigned to 9-10 and go out to the AXE USB input.
