One issue that I ran into is that I couldn't get the Boss Tone Studio software to run on Linux under WINE, so I had to use WinBoat (a Windows VM) instead.
Basically I installed WinBoat, passed the USB through to the VM, updated Windows within the VM, then got the latest drivers and software for the Katana, as well as the MSVC runtime, and now it works just fine. (It wasn't recognizing the amp for a while before I updated Windows, for some reason, but worked after updating.)
Kind of a heavy fix, not ideal, but it works...
It would be really nice to eventually have this working in WINE or to have some kind of open source alternative configuration tool.
