I hope you find a way, though. :-)

I have a LE license, but still didn't manage to run it. However, BIAS Pedal works well. Use ToneLib GFX instead. It's cheaper and sounds good. The only big downside is that it doesn't have stereo processing for mono parts of the signal chain, so no hassle-less double tracked guitars. Otherwise, it's great.

I install BiasFX with Reaper 6.09. The installation goes smoothly, and the plugin is loaded, but no GUI, so that I can't use it :(

I have been running both BiasFX 1 & 2 under wine (with wineasio) without issues. However you have to patch wine. Bias uses something called CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) which has a few issues with wine. BiasFX launches a process called cefprocess.exe, but without --single-process argument it will only show a blank window under wine. So the trick is to force that parameter.

Here's the bug report I filed: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44985

And the latest patch I posted to make it work: https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=67031

I have .debs built for Ubuntu 20.04 for wine-5.7, if you're interested. I might upload them to my PPA at some point.

Hi! First of all I would like to thank you for sharing it with us. I wonder if you could help me. I am a beginner in the use of linux. I am using a distribution “Ubunto Studio” and wine 6.8. I have no idea how to run this main_delegate.cc file. I tried to search the internet, but I didn't find much. Would you help me?
