digi 002 question

[gumby1220]

this may be a dumb question and is why i choose the newbie section to post.

can i use guitar cords to make the connection from external pre-amps to the digi 002's line inputs 5-8? or does it have to be a certain type of cable that is different then a guitar cable?

You can, and if there's no noise picked up then you're okay, but the technically correct cable would be a balanced line cable. It will use essentially the same cable as as a mic cable but have TRS ends that look like stereo headphone plugs.
