To supplement above response
Downsides of VST plugins
- more load on your jamkazam computer CPU
- more prone to latency, drop outs etc
- have to learn a new tool
Upsides of using your multi effect pedal
- you're using a pedal that you also live gig/practice/jam with, and are presumably more familiar with the UI and the Sounds
- latency on the multi-effect pedal is essentially non-existent/very low and most likely more consistent than latency you would experience on a multi process CPU
I run a helix LT direct into my Audio Interface and I'm very happy with it. I've tried for example using VST Reverb plugin via Reaper/ReaAudio and I've not been happy with it.
Upsides of VST
Maybe you could get an effect not on the firehawk?
