Powered mixer as a preamp for mic/guitar signals to a tascam porta 2????

[toz71]

Hi Folks,
This is my first post here in this forum.I am relatively new to this home-recording thing but i've been playing guitar since i was a toddler and want to get a few ideas down on tape.The trouble is this ...i have a tascam porta studio 2 and i want to use some of the effects from my powered mixer (inkel 200 watt)like reverb and eq but i'm not sure how they should be connected.The mixer has a headphone 1/4 " jack but when i plugged this into the line input of the tascam the signal was extremely weak.There are two "tape out" rca plugs on the mixer ...maybe these are what i should be using? ...(with somesort of adaptor to the tascam) ....all help appreciated!!!!

Yes, those tape outs are what you should be using.
