Why couldn't, for instance, the JP2C+ model simply contain the green, yellow, and red channels accessible with the flip of a switch? Why do these need to be different "amps?" This goes for some of the pedals as well that have different modes or toggles. Why not just include that toggle or mode in the pedal (Timmy, for instance, rather than having two Timmy pedals).
I guess it doesn't really affect anything, since you'd most likely have them all on their own Block channels were you to use, say, the JP2C and all its channels in a preset, but it's curious. The Helix does the same sort of thing. The only thing I've ever seen have the "full" amp in one model was Amplitube. The Helix has all the toggle positions in one block, but it still tends to break up all the amp channels into their own amp models.
I get it if, for instance, only one or two channels of a given amp are modeled, but when the whole thing is, it just seems like the whole amp should be in one amp model. Is there a practical reason why companies do this? Would the file inside the firmware be too big or unruly to work with or debug/improve?
Just curious
