I just bought an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile off of ebay. Problem is, i meant to buy the Firewire Solo. I sort of went on ebay after i got the money and didnt think to check to make sure i didnt get the wrong one. My question is, since the audiophile has no 1/4" jack input, or a preamp, would it be possible to use this with my guitar, while not spending too much on extra harware to make them work together.
Got a tip for us?

as you mentioned, you're missing the preamp. i assume you want to go direct from your guitar, so you're looking for a preamp w/ a hi-z input. or are you mic'ing a cabinet?
either way, this isn't the piece you want. even if you do buy an external pre, you'd most likely be taking a +4 balanced out from that into a -10 unbalanced RCA input. workable, but not ideal. throwing good money after bad, imo.

You could always pick up a guitar preamp/modelling effects unit and use that to interface the guitar with the line in. Bonus is that you would have an outboard effects unit for live performance as well.
