You could use the LSP Plugins suite, it has a zero latency convolver plugin:

I think Guitarix has one also. Check out x42, they have a zero latency convolver too:

There is plenty of documentation about the build systems that the various project use, but it is gonna be hard to make your head around them. Building from source might seem very hard at first, but normally it means attempting to build a few times until you figured out all the packages you need to install to have a successful build. After you do it, say, 10 times you develop some eye for the command line output, and by reading it you are like "oh, it cannot find this .so file, so let's search it online... oh, it is part of this package for my distribution, so let's install it...". Kinda like this.
I think the absolute worst are the scientific software packages. Like, I can't for the life of me build Salome and its dependencies on Arch Linux. Luckily I managed to get the universal binary running...
