You can assign any block to be assigned by the same footswitch regardless of what path they're on. But if I'm understanding your method, then you're correct, using a switch to bypass an amp as opposed to pan a path would leave you with a dry signal. That being said, you could do everything you're describing above in your setup with Snapshots instead using the split block to switch between sounds. That's the blessing and curse of Helix - many ways to do the same thing!

Go to your signal chain view and make sure one of the 2 amps is bypassed. Then assign both amps to the same bypass foot controller. Boom! One footswitch to toggle between the two. I've even made patches this way where I used one footswitch to toggle between 2 dirty amps with a little bit of reverb, and 1 clean amp with lots of reverb. You can do a lot with assigning different blocks to the same bypass footswitch.
