Reaper/Helix monitoring issue

I had this issue sorted once before, but I have no idea what I did to reverse it or now, fix it again.  

 

Simple setup, Helix connected via USB to Laptop/Reaper.  I like to record things this way, works great.  I also like to use this to help level presets a bit more when my ears are being finicky between clean/dirty sounds.  

 

So, my issue is that when I turn monitoring on in Reaper, in order for the master fader (the only one I know of that is of decent size to see numbers well) to read the output level of the helix...it sounds like i'm in a small bathroom.    If I turn off monitoring, I can hear the preset as it should be, but then lose the master monitoring.  

 

So...

1) Is there a better meter for me to use in Reaper?? 

2) Is there a setting that i'm missing somewhere in the 10k setting options in Reaper that is doing this?  I found that turning off the sends in the routing fixes it, however that also removes the monitoring.

3)  Is there a different leveling/metering option I can use on a windows laptop to get an idea of preset output levels to help keep things tidy.   

 

Generally my 'stock' presets are usually leveled, but when I go to add new songs/presets getting those to match the main library is a pain.
