Line 6 - Toneport

Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any luck or experience trying to get any line 6 guitar amps working under arch?

Good luck with that...

...and others that are no longer in my browsing history.
I tried GearBox in WINE, would install but won't run.  I tried in VMware but the host and guest kept fighting over the soundcard/USB ports (I use a TonePort).
There are people working on it, the driver is pre-alpha on SourceForge:

...and Line 6 may or may not have noticed a need for Linux support but if they have they don't much care:

So, sadly, I must keep a spare Winblows box for recording because TBH I really don't want to give up my TonePort.  You didn't mention what kind of gear you were running but maybe you'll have better luck than me; post anything good if you can find it!
