Members OneManBlues Posted May 8, 2020 Members Share Posted May 8, 2020 I have a Yamaha MG10XU mixer. It has 4 XLR inputs that will also take a quarter inch jack. It also has some additional channels that take a quarter inch input. My question is this. If I run a pedal straight into one of the inputs, will it potentially damage the mixer? What I am doing is using a microphone to capture a resonator guitar and running the mic into a DanElectro overdrive pedal using a XLR to quarter inch converter and then running a quarter inch cable straight into channel 1. It’s got an FX send output but no FX return. I only want to use the overdrive on the resonator guitar (which has no pick-up) and would want to use the built in reverb on other channels.

Moderators daddymack Posted May 8, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2020 It won't hurt it . Keep in mind that the 'pre-amp' is your gatekeeper, and try to keep the volume sliders as close to unity gain ['0'] as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
