Use my ICs for guitar rig?


Just thinking out loud here... any reason I can't use my extra ICs (you know, the ones you have hanging around and never get around to selling) for my live guitar rig? I run my guitars - acoustic and electric - into a complex pedal board with tube preamp out then into direct boxes on stage and then on to the PA system. I play at clubs with my band and also use the same rig at my church for worship.
I have been looking at buying expensive instrument cables by Analysis Plus and George L to complete the conections, which led me to thinking about using my spare ICs (I have a full set of nice MITs of various lengths) for this purpose, with RCA to 1/4" phono plug adaptors.
Before I buy the adaptors and try to make this work, anybody think it will or won't?
Thanks!

I hope you are not planning on using a RAT or Big Muff in church!!!! Anyway, I like to stay away from adapters, myself. Terminating an end or two is a more desirable way. Of course when you plug/unplug and pack up each time .... they need to be very durable, even when being very careful. You already know that. I find that many instrument cables are of a very poor quality, with their price reflecting that. I at least, use made in USA with Switchcraft, but still......... you plan to go from what to what, exactly? Great question, by the way!
