Using Axe-Fx for effects in a loop-less amp

If you wanted to run your Axe-Fx in front of your amp for effects only, how would you go about doing it?

Right now the guitar is going into the Axe-Fx front input, then Output 1 Left is plugged into the front of my amp. The patch I have right now is just all shunts. I am trying to get the Axe-Fx to basically be transparent, and I can't get the levels right, I can't find a balance. It also seems that my tone is brighter going through the Axe-Fx, but that might be the cables hyping the high end (using Livewire Elite, 3ft cable at the moment).

Should there be a difference in volume between a patch with just shunts and having the bypass on? I'm having a heck of a time getting it to sound the same as when my guitar is plugged right into the amp.

Any suggestions on what I could try to get things right?
