Recording an accoustic guitar duo tomorrow and one of the artists mentioned that he has an input jack on his guitar and plans on using FX pedals. Do I need anything besides cables to run that to the board? Thanks.

In my mind it would depend on what FX he is running...if not micing a cabinet, you'd at least want some sort of speaker/mic/room modeling or simulation of some sort to add some spacial qualities to the sound or it may record as a very sterile, icky sound.
