I think you should use it, plugging directly is really, really a bad thing
to do... especially because your epiphone do mount humbuckers.
If you like jazzy sound probably you don't want to lose all those low freqs
using a straight low cut (they boost your hi freqs, don't forget that too).

According to your style and preferences in using the handle or bridge pickup
(I don't like middle position) I would use EQ instead of low cut, just be
careful with your amp eq and keep away rumbles.

BTW, as Arnold pointed out: try.
