ell it will definitely get you more harmonics, what you're doing, but you might lose some clarity and punch as a side effect.
The reason is most summing units are made to accept line levels, blend them, and then re-amplify only enough to come back up to line level.
In your case, you'll either be overloading your mic input by feeding it a line level signal it's not built for, or padding down 40dB on the way in and having to go through another 40db of pre-amplification before the summing even starts.
So it might not be an optimal way to use it.
