Best hi gains are preamp into power amp line in - are you doing that?
(I tend to use amps without FX loops!)
4CM would make sense - since you can obviously use the pre-amp models, similarly FRFR
My main amp is a Carr Skylark - bit more old school
It's actually worth playing with the various distortions and stacking them, putting a compressor in front, maybe even a clean boost eq first etc. and playing with the global eq settings.
It took me a good month before I started getting sounds that were as good as a trad amp/board
Or, mix the signal - one path to FRFR, and one out to your amp with just effects...
Sorry your other suggestion is mad!
That's what I did
Actually, I go XLR -> FoH (stereo if I can) and 1/4" -> single onstage monitor so I can hear it.
Very pleased with the setup.

I've not found a decent high gain stomp in the Helix so far. There may be work arounds but going straight into the front of an amp there's no tight MIAB sound. The OCD is good(better than an actual OCD IMO) but it's a slightly fuzzy, round drive sound. Fortunately it's not a sound I require, but if I did I'd probably have a pedal in the loop as a temporary measure, until the firwmware gave a nice tight rock stomp. I think a model of a Crunch Box or similar would be good.
the modded 2204 I think provides a very modern sounding MIAB since it is pretty much a MIAB with a sweepable midrange ?
