I have an Alesis multimix 8fx mixer running into the tape (mono) input of one of those older Peavey XM-4 mixer/amps (usually used as a guitar mixer/amp). This may be a dumb question, but that's why I'm here LOL . Can I connect the 1/4" left and right outputs from the Alesis mixer into 2 of the 1/4" microphone inputs of the Peavey mixer/amp or will that damage the equipment?
Also does anyone out there have any idea what type of reverb is built into these old Peavey Xm-4 guitar mixer/amps? Thanks in advance!
It will work if you are careful (don't overdrive the inputs on the Peavey), but like stated in previous posts you made (I believe), you would be better off NOT using the Peavey mixer part but using it strictly as an amp & using the Alesis as the mixer only.
The Peavey is using a simple spring reverb - one of the oldest & VERY analog type of effect. It's basically sending a audio signal through a spring - literally.
