I have a Catalyst 200 and a Helix Floor. I bought the Catalyst because I really liked the Boutique and Chime tones, and I wanted that amp in the room feel I wasn't getting with a Katana but had with old tube amps (don't really play gigs anymore so going digital for recording, but I'd still very new to this digital stuff). I cannot figure out for the life of me how to use the Helix as a controller for all, but to for example: Use the Boutique tone on the catalyst but use the effects from the helix. Then have a snapshot or preset where I am using all Helix effects and amp models. It seems like I can get one or the other and not both with out unplugging and plugging cords.
I'm running a standard 4cbm:
loop 1 send into amp input
Amp effect loop send into return 1
1/4 in out into amp return loop
Using Catalyst in fx loop mode.
midi cable for control of catalyst from helix (using chan 3)
I have an LFS2 coming, but am able to use the helix foot switch out to change channels on the amp.
*side note, I can see the amp models change, but the tones do not change. I also tried the fx loop bypass command (CC107 on the catalyst) but I can't get what I'm trying to accomplish happen.
I know I'm missing something really simple, but I cannot figure it out. Any assistance is greatly appreciated
