"The direct signal of [the Axe-FX] goes into his ears, and then it goes into the Boogie 2:One Hundred and that feeds one set of speakers. And the other side gets split off into the Triaxis. So we're blending the Fractal amp modeling with the real Boogies," says Mike Derks guitar tech, at 17:50 in this rig rundown video, by Premier Guitar.
