Overall: I have a pretty large pedal board and I run both an instrument and a mic through it. Since I already have so much gear to carry, I really didn't want to get another large-ish piece of gear with more crap than I need just to run my two inputs through the pedal chain. This has enough gain for my dynamic Sennheiser mic, and I didn't hear any noise or distortion when I turned up the gain, it sounded good. Plus now if I wanted to I could add a keyboard or even a backing track from my phone or computer. I love how much you can do with this lightweight, compact little mixer, and it's totally affordable. Some people are worrying about the material, but again I like that it's lightweight. I thought the 4 year accidental protection plan for 9.99 was pretty reasonable so I got that just in case, and now I'm not worried about it.
Adapters:
It comes with one adapter plug. Right now it looks like the individually sold Maker Hart's adapters are unavailable on Amazon. So for more mono instruments you need a female 1/4 inch to male 1/8th inch adapter. For that I think the "Sennheiser Cable Adapter Female 1/4 6.3mm to Male 1/8 3.5 mm Plug" is good - it's nice and short, but it still has a soft wire in the middle which I think is better than the stiff, single piece adapters, because it prevents any weight from a heavy cable putting pressure on the input.
For a mic you need a 1/8" TRS stereo to XLR Female (MOBOREST has one). I actually had a XLR to 1/4 adapter already, so I then plugged that into Maker Hart's adapter. Anyway, if the mic doesn't sound good I think it's probably the cable, adapter, or mic that's the issue, and not the mixer - because my dynamic mic sounded good with the mixer. Also, it's not designed for condenser mics, only dynamic.
For additional stereo instruments, I'm pretty sure a Y cable would work (dual female 1/4" to 1/8" male), but on the other hand if you're trying to run two mono instruments into one channel (which Maker Hart says is possible), I'm not sure a Y cable will work and I don't know what you should get besides the one that comes with the unit. So basically take into account what adapters you'll need when you're buying this unit.
