The older G3x works as an interface as does the G3n's bigger brother the G5n, so leaving this off the G3n seems a bit odd.

I had one but hated it and sold it. Lots of reasons. First, the amp modelling was problematic. It was lifeless and sounded nasal, with too many models sounding the same, and the only way I could get a good tone from it was to put AIR reverb and the Exciter effects at the end of the signal chain. The amp models did not sound authentic.
But although it was supposed to give up to 9 slots, here was the other big problem. The amp model took up two slots, a cab model 1 slot. Some fx like an eq took up 2 blocks. A noise gate was another block. The wah wasn't global...another slot. Or if you wanted the volume pedal, or an expression pedal, that was another slot. So that was 7 slots before you looked at delay, reverb, modulation. And depending on the fx selected you could run out of processing power after 8 blocks.
There were also long menus that made it awkward to find the effect you wanted although these were at least split into categories. Adding an effect and changing the signal chain order was awkward, although the top LCD display helped (only available on the G5n). The G3n only gave 6 slots, so was very limiting. And there were a load of other issues....If you do a search I posted on this a year or two back.
Anyway, I sold it and even made a modest profit on it so that was OK. I now have a Line 6 Pod Go that's stonkingly good and hopefully with the forthcoming firmware upgrade, will be even better.
Even better - managed to sell a couple of pedals to compensate. Sometimes this place is great!
I definitely will be holding on to Joyo - partly because it's worth peanuts, but also because I've used it to record heaps of stuff - set and forget simplicity has a lot going for it!
