possible,
I always have the vortex input volume down around "9 o'clock"
for line level signals.
A small tweak makes quite a difference.

Ideal is that the red Overload LED only comes on when you hit
the guitar v.hard.
(although for sometimes that led also picks up overload within
   the patch)

Unlikely, the mixer *should* be able to
take it.

Probably it's just needs "millimeter precision calibration"
on the input knob of the vortex.

I've used the vortex as a DI (2005 gigs), and it *is* handy to 
have enough gain to just plug in a guitar...but it means
the useful range for line level is awkwardly small.
