Hello Matt?
where do you plug your AN1X?
The best way is to use a line input on a mixer or an amplifier with multiple inputs and set the gain (if available) of each channel to get the same audio level with each instrument. The microphone inputs are way too sensitive (i.e. the gain is too high) and their input impedance is too low (typically 600 ohms).
If you're using a line input without gain adjustment it could be an impedance mismatch between the AN1X and the amp....
Cheers.
