X1850 mic input used for instrument

Does anyone know if the 1/4inch or XLR mic inputs can be used for say a guitar or as an aux input? Aside from having no eq etc is there any problem with this

Thanks

It’ll just about hold, as long as there’s no fx pedals on the guitar.

A better way would be to use a sub-mixer or a DI box

I used it for a guitarist accompanying a vocalist for a short performance at a wedding. The sound was was good. Raw and uncolored (no EQ) but good.

It’s actually a guitar FX pedal I want to plug in (headrush mx5).

Alternatively I could plug the guitar into a normal input and use the mic input for a drum machine?

Is one worse or better than the other?

I’d ditch the idea of using the mic inputs.

Use a small format PA mixer for the drums and guitar. Something like a Alesis or Yamaha pocket mixer
