Chapman Stick Stereo with ping pong delay

Hello, I have a Chapman Stick with 2 separate outputs, (bass and melody) that I play thru a Helix Floor. I use one signal chain using the guitar input for the bass side and one signal chain using the aux input for the melody side, then each chain is panned hard left and right so that only bass comes out the left and only melody out of the right. So that's all fine but i had an idea that it would be great if I had a delay on the melody side and then the delay repeats (and only the repeats) came thru on the bass side. A ping pong effect. The problem is I can not see how I can feed the melody delay repeats to the bass signal chain. If I was using stomp boxes I would just run the delay-only output of a delay pedal to the bass signal chain using a mixer. Does anybody know how this could be done on the Helix Floor? Thanks

So on the Helix you can split the main 2 paths to have a total of 4.  

 

A good way to run 2 signals is to use the main "guitar" input for the melody and a "return 1" for bass.  Then you can use the pan block at the very end to pan whether the signal for the bass or melody side comes on the left/right or in the middle.  And also do the same for the additional "wet" path.  

 

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "only repeats" coming through on the other side.  You can take the delay and set the mix parameter at 100%, so you will be only hearing the repeats, and not the signal.  Same for reverb. 

 

All you would need to do is split the signal path for the melody, add a delay block and then add panning exactly how you want it.  

 

Route all 3 paths so they all are individual in their last "pan/mix" block.  Multi = the signal comes out of XLR, 1/4", headphones, etc.  

 

In my example the top path is for melody, middle for repeats, and bottom path for bass.  You can mix all 3 however you want and pan it however you want.  See the last free block that says "MULTI", where you can modify those.  

 

So hypothetically: melody is on the left, melody delay repeats are on the right, and bass is on the right.  

 

he top path is for melody, middle for repeats, and bottom path for bass.
