HX Effects - Sending Both Left and Right Outputs to One Amp?

It's entirely likely that I am completely misunderstanding the entire concept of stereo output, and thus why I'm not finding any information online about it. Let me set the scene:

 

I have an HX Effects which I play through my Fender '59 Bassman. The Bassman has 4 inputs (2 Normal and 2 Bright). Is it possible to send 2 signals to the same amp? The application I imagine would be to have one side as a clean 'bass' channel using the octave effect etc., and the other side acting as the 'guitar' channel with dirt, etc. Is this possible? And if so, how would I go about setting it up? All I seem to be able to find is how to send the HX Effects to 2 amps, which tells me that maybe it's not possible.

It would be possible to use it like a channel switcher by plugging left out to one input on the amp and right out to anther and then directing your preset to output either left or right depending on the input you want to use.

The Helix Floor/LT could do what you're suggesting, by setting up separate parallel paths in the preset, connecting up and directing outputs as above, but I don't know whether the HXFX can do two separate parallel paths in a preset.

It's possible and simple: get familar with the manual - it explains how to do parallel paths.

Put blocks for one amp input on Path A and blocks for the other amp input on Path B.

Use the mixer block to pan hard left and right so that blocks on Path A are go to Out L and Path B blocks to Out R.

Then connect Out L with one amp input (e.g. Bass 1) and Out R with another (e.g. Normal 1).
