Using 808 as an external effect for DAW

Hey all, I just copped an 808 off ebay and am basically hoping to use it as an external effects box for ableton. I read that you're supposed to be able to do this, but can't quiiite figure out how to hook it up. I have an RCA cable running from the monitor OUT on my mbox2 interface into the AUX IN ...
