How to Connect a Guitar to a Delta 1010LT
The Delta 1010LT is a digital audio recording interface manufactured by M-Audio. The 1010LT model is similar in function to the original Delta 1010 model. The main difference is that the original model is an external piece of digital recording hardware, and the LT model is a sound card that connects to your desktop's motherboard. However, the Delta 1010LT does not feature a 1/4-inch instrument cable adapter required to connect most electric guitars and amplifiers. The good news is that it is still possible to connect your guitar to the 1010LT.
