I am looking into getting a BOSS RC-5 looping pedal for my guitar, and I am curious if anyone has any experience with using it with Linux?
It makes use of this BOSS Tone Studio to allow adding additional backing tracks, but it is only officially supported for Windows and macOS. I could not find many examples of people using it on Linux, but for the most part any discussion I could find was in the context of their amplifiers.
I wonder if it should be straightforward to run it through Wine? As far as I can tell, you only need to set it up as a storage medium and connect it to your machine, although you can’t just drag the files directly onto it.
It is not a deal breaker for me if I can’t get it working, but it would certainly be a benefit if I could.
It works in wine but if you can’t get it working in wine then a vm with usb passthrough works too.
I have used these two solutions with this equipment in the past.
Perfect, good to know! Then I will go for it!
