is there any extra latency using an amp sim on wine?

I want to use AmpliTube amp sim on ubuntu studio but there isn't a linux version for it, can I just use wine and will it have any extra latency? if so how much latency?

This is not an answer to your question, however consider giving the Guitarix program a try. It is an GNU virtual guitar amp that is open source and native to Linux. I believe it sounds comparable to my D!g!t#c% pedalboard. I have achieved latency as low as 6ms with it.

To install guitarix in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install guitarix

To find if a Windows app has been tested for WINE, visit and search for your app. Latency information for WINE apps is not tracked here on this website.

There is NO extra latency when using Amplitube on Linux thru' wine.

However, check out <- Cheap license, only nagscreen until you pay, great great sounds (not opensource though). Interface isn't as polished as Amplitube, but it's far easier to use for it.

I tried "guitarix" - I was not too happy with it I must admit
