Thanks. Im in the process of experimenting with different possibilities. I will check out your preset.

Its always hard to keep these topics brief. I will try. I recently upgraded to a Helix floor model from my HXFX unit. Im trying to replicate my architecture and signal routing on the Helix that I had with the HXFX. I hate to give away my secrets :), but here was my set up with the HXFX: I use a Roland jc120 as my platform. My performances consist of 4 volume stages: 1st volume - the clean jc120 level of the chorus channel (Channel 1), 2nd volume - the same channel 1 and volume, but going through a RAT for distortion. Again, volume levels 1&2 are through Channel 1 (the chorus channel) of the jc120. Now the tricky part, 3rd volume - the guitar signal is sent, via Send 2 of the HXFX, to an amp simulator pedal, that then goes into Channel 2 of the jc120, with a higher volume, thus blasting ones head off in the process. 4th volume - finally, I have a clean boost pedal right after that amp simulator pedal which can add even more volume to Channel 2 of the jc120, for a lead if needed. I am trying to replicate this architecture and routing in the Helix. I do not want to use any of my old pedals (the RAT and amp simulation pedal) but I see no way to utilize amps IN Helix this way, and switch them/route them in this fashion. There doesnt seem to be as elegant a way to send guitar signal to one path, into an amp, but not to a parallel path that contains a 2nd amp. I need to be able to play through amp 1, then engage amp 2 when I want. There has to be a way to do this via the A/B switching options, but I havent figured it out. I continue to look into these posts in the meantime.
