@themetallikid.... the top view of your board looks a lot like mine, right down to the wireless position. That is certainly a problem as that size almost requires a board of it's own. Sometimes there is no way to cheat "size" - LOL!

I would go ahead and download the manuals for whatever you think you might get to confirm this but. Helix Rack - Yes Helix Floor - Yes Helix Stomp - Yes Helix Go - Probably not, but it's hard to tell from the manual. It looks like you can use the Guitar In and FX loop return for your two instruments and then use the Main outs and Amp out for the outputs. The Amp out is made to get the signal right before the IR/cab so that's where you'd put the acoustic. The problem is I don't see any way to get those two inputs their own paths. No way to split or pan the inputs. Hope this helps.

I would really suggest looking into a place like I used and at their custom prices. The company that I used built this to my specs including making the lid 1.5" taller to accompany the angle/height of the Helix. I know they do tiered systems as well and maybe they can quote you something that matches what you need.

So here is my board. It measures roughly 17" x 30". It has a flip up top surface that allows all my power cords and such to be housed underneath. My MXR talkbox is also underneath (my goal was to also have a Digitech Drop and Freqout, however I did not like how those pedals integrated and also new the Poly stuff was coming down the road at some point). The side panel has 2 female power outlets, 2 usb powered outlets and a male power outlet that powers the whole board. This setup is great. When I do my solo acoustic shows, I bring the board, a powered speakers, stands and guitar. My monitor speaker and tablet plug right into one of the outlets on my board. My lights/main speaker plug into a 3 way extension cord which also plugs into the 2nd outlet on my board and I run a 25ft IEC cable to power my board to the wall. My full band shows I only have the tablet and monitor to run on it. It also has a bracket next to the power plate that I can put a mic stand into. All of this was customizeable and I think I paid around $300-$400? I'd have to dig for that, and also to find the website. I'd gladly do that if you think you'd wanna check them out.

Be sure PG FX Loop it's off. I have a Marshall AVT100X and use it with my PG same as you. But I made an IR of my combo and I use that IR for EVERYTHING.

That's exactly why I mentioned that my needs may be different than your needs. Typically I only need a few effects for my tones so having half the DSP has not hurt me. And I can get the Poly capo working with some effects and not run out of DSP resources. I am also not a big fan of the smaller screen, it is harder to read than the larger floor model. I am not sure about the IR situation. Perhaps someone else here can address that challenge.

I think you might be using the term “bank” to refer to preset. You can definitely send out MIDI messages when switching presets. You can send up to six Instant Commands per preset, so, yes, you should be able to do what you want to do. The Instant Commands are the represented by lightning bolts in the Command Center. You’d typically want to have every MIDI device set to a unique MIDI channel, so you’d have to set the MIDI messages accordingly. You’ll have to look at the manuals for each to see what they need for a bypass message. I believe they all use a MIDI CC message.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It turns out I had a ground loop problem between the Helix FX Loop, my amp, and my attenuator. I bought at Rocktron Buzz Kill AC Hum Exterminator, threw it in the loop and presto! Problem solved. Thanks so much to codamedia and rd2rk for spending so much time and effort helping me! You guys are awesome! You went out of your way to help a total stranger. The world is a better place because of people like you. Seriously, thank you!

I've just reinstalled Line 6 Monkey and it worked out. I guess the problem is that we were using old versions of Line 6 Monkey Software. I hope this would help you.
