Fair correction. Never owned an HX One. That said, Line 6's website is a little misleading then: https://line6.com/comparison/processors/ The One is explicitly listed as an "Amp & Effects Processor," whereas the Effects is the only Helix product in the "Effects Only" section. And again, I understand that this is the underlying design intent of the HX Effects. The question I'm trying to ask is whether or not this is an arbitrary limitation of the software. As an HX Effects owner, it would be hugely helpful to have those additional models as a value-add/back pocket gig insurance. It's still strange that the HX Stomp is, from a DSP perspective at least, the more flexible option.

Apologies if this has been discussed to death. Couldn't find older threads on the topic. Been wondering why the HX Effects doesn't support amp & cab modeling like every other Helix product in the line? I understand that the Effects is conceptually meant to be the stomp box emulation, but it seems crazy to me that the software doesn't allow for/include the amp & cab models, at least as an option. I was caught flat-footed once where my amp didn't make it to the gig and needed to go direct. Wound up building a second, smaller board with the HX Stomp to be a backup for cases like those. Particularly given that even the HX One allows the amp & cab models, the omission on this one product sticks out. Anyone else had this as a concern?
