As I said in the original post the vst is like Ampltude and MG2 vst does have its own native guitar amp and effects and 4 different synthesizers to play with and can combine the 2 sounds. So u can have some fat synth sound with a distorted echo guitar. I'm not sure why u wouldn't want to use that in a daw. The Vst does all the MG2 program does in the daw.
