Dry/wet troubleshooting

Hello helix-friends. I need your help. I have been struggling to setup a dry/wet setup for my tube amp + helix with powercab but I just cannot seem to make it work. Here’s the deal:

 

I want to use my helix as pedal board in front of my (real) tube amp. At the same time I want to use helix reverb and helix delay but have this specific effects-signal go only to my powercab and not the tube amp. When reverb and delay are not in use I want the powercab to be silent (no dry signal). 
 

I tried using the two paths - path one for dry signal (to tube amp) and path two for reverb and delay. It works great as long as the reverb and delay effects are on. But as soon as I bypass reverb and/or delay, the clean guitar signals travel to the powercab meaning I have guitar coming from both powercab and tube amp. I set the mix to 100% on both reverb and delay effects. I don’t understand why theres still signal coming through?

 

can somebody help me? I am going slightly mad from trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance.

When you bypass the effect, the dry signal continues to be passed through the block.

Use Snapshots so that you can have either or both fx on, but when they're both off the volume on the fx path is off.

Try the attached demo preset. My Powercab is connected using L6 Link, so change the output as necessary for your setup, just don't forget to reassign the Output Block Level to Snapshots and set it to -120db (OFF) on the Dry Only Snapshot.
