It can be done, but it won't sound very good. Instrument amps are not designed to handle voices.

You would need to get an adapter from the XLR plug to a 1/4 inch one.

Unless it's a high-impedance mic...

But before making any recommendations - what exactly are you trying to do? Amplify voices or acoustic instruments through your amp? Without knowing the application it's hard to tell what might work - although Mike is correct, it's usually just a bad idea.

I use a Shure SM-57 on a real short stand, and just run it right into the PA.

What Sliff said---Are you trying to use the amp for a P.A., or are you trying to put a mike in front of the amp?

You can obtain a preamp signal by simply connecting an instrument cable from the PRE AMP OUT on the rear panel. No XLR connector involved. This will access a nominal one volt signal from the PRE AMP OUT jack.
