if I get this right you play your mic Ɣnd guitar through the same amp?

I don't have any experience with that, but I'm not surprised the volumes are off, you can't control the volume for each device individually
= good music is good drinking =

You could get yourself an inexpensive 2 or 4 channel mixing board..... mackie has a 4 channel for $99.99....

Why can't you balance the levels using whatever pedal it is you now have? Jocky the amp & pedal volumes until everything sounds ok.

What kind of pedal is it and/or do you have any pedal in your possession with a level control?
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

"all the volumes are screwed up (thi mic is low the guitar is high)"

Can't the volume control on the guitar turn down the guitar volume???

you can't plug the guitar and mic into an adapter, than into the amp without weird things happening.

the amp is only able to handle a single instrument, either a mic,,, or guitar in the input jack.

I believe this amp has rca jacks to plug in a cd/mp3 player,,you might be able to plug the mic in that way somehow, but I dont think it will sound very good
