Call me crazy. But I don't care to hear what something sounds like when it's used for a purpose it was never designed nor intended to be used for. Of course taking a line-level signal and feeding it in to a mic-level input is going to change the sound. I don't need any stupid sound samples to point that out, thank you.
Lots of people do it, for that same purpose, just to give a little pazazz whenever necessary. Maybe other people here would see that benefit for them also. Just remember...
