something cool

So I recorded this song and though it sounds okay I want to record a second track of guitars direct-in and see if I can use some amp sims to fill out the mic'd guitar track, as it's admittedly a little thin-sounding. I run a delta 1010lt, which has RCA ins/outs, XLR, and S/PDIF. I went down to good old GC and told the guy I wanted to direct record my guitar though the RCA ins on the 1010lt, and he directed me to a couple adapters, one being a stereo 1/4" (male) to RCA (male) with a long cable, and the other being 1/4" (female) to RCA (male) with a teeny cable. He suggested the 1st one, so I picked it up.
However, now that I'm trying it out, I get this awful stuttering when I try to record direct, and I'm not sure what's causing it or how to fix it. At first I thought it could be the new drivers I just installed (xx.4x), but recording with my mic though xlr sounds just fine. I tried using both the left and right ends of the cable but both produce the same awfulness. I'm guessing now that the cable is either bad, or more likely that it's not the right kind of cable to be plugging into a guitar. (Hosa brand, CPR-203 dual cable 3M, RCA plugs to 1/4" phone plugs)
I'm sure I'm gonna get told how dumb I am but this is new to me, I've always just mic'd the amp and let 'er fly. Anyways, help appreciated as always.
