In one of my rigs I use guitar and mic in parallel inputs and with
volume pedals, one for each. I sometimes use the same input for both
but then I turn off the mic when not in use (preventing acoustic
feedback) with a little power button on the small XLR converter box
(the preamp providing phantom power). When playing flute its easy
because I use the same mic for voice and instrument but guitar is
most problematic. I've seen some people using headset mics which
seems to work fine with guitar.
When you say "live two way switches" I'm guessing you want to use the
same input for both voice and guitar? I was looking into this some
years ago, when I was using my EDP plus Repeater and had only one
input. I learned that if you go for a switch you need to get some
really good (and expensive) ones to avoid loud bumps in the PA. There
might be many but this is a brand I was recommended: http://

I think it looks very cool when acoustic guitarists sing through the
guitars mic. So fast and easy, very performance friendly (explicit)..
But as you're saying the resulting vocal sound will always sound just
like voice-through-guitar+effects.
