2 questions - elec guitar; midi controller

[buddyboy101]

Hey folks, I have an mbox2, and have two quick questions:

1.) I just picked up an elec guitar (epiphone g400) last night. Can I plug straight into the mbox? I also have a pocketPOD. Would it be preferrable to go through the POD? Do I need a DI?

2.) I also received a midi controller (korg nano controller) and Reason. Where can I learn how to integrate Reason and Pro Tools (I.e. how do I make sounds in reason and insert/record/use them in Pro Tools)?

Sorry I'm such a newb. Trying to learn! Thanks so much!!!

1./ Yes/Yes/No, you don't NEED a DI, but having one is never a bad idea
2./ By reading the respective manuals for PT and Reason
