The input impedance of a mixer is way too low for a guitar (10K vs. 1M
ohm for a guitar amp iirc).  The resulting sound is dull when compared
with using a direct box.

anyone knows a suitable AD box that can

I vaguely remember reading about some inexpensive a/d boxes that have
built in mic pre's and a switch for high impedance instruments, but I
don't remember their names.  I use an active direct box.
