BOSS RC-5 and Linux compatability? (lemmy.ml)

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.

The software is free to download. See if you can get it to run and mess with things in it. I would imagine the wired connection would be the easier part. Maybe have to get a driver for it.
