Thanks for all the replies so quickly. I have a mic (CAD Equitek E100)
set at the grill of my accordion, and my stage amp is a guitar amp.

Right now I'm running into a small Mackie 12 channel mixer, and from
that I send the main signal from the mixer to the snake, and an aux
send to my stage amp. I have no problems with feedback using this mic
with this setup, it's very one-directional and I have mounted very
close to the grill of my accordion.

I like this setup, for b/c it gives me a signal boost through the
boards mic pre, an xlr send to the snake, and a split to my amp with
the aux. However, it's very clunky and a lot to carry around for one
line. I thought their might be a more portable solution, but now that
I break it down more I guess the DI would not boost the signal at all
like the Mackie's pre's.

Suggestions?

** That mic has a high output level PLUS a passive DI operating in
reverse as suggested boosts the signal again. You are sure to have plenty of
signal available for any guitar amp.

Stop whining and guessing - go try the solution I posted and the Parrot
echoed.

That's a fine way to do it.

You could get someone to custom-build a box for you, but it would
still be a box. You'd lose a little bulk and a power cord, but also
lose some flexibility. It wouldn't be worth it. The Mackie 1202 is
pretty small and light, pretty inconsequential compared to most guitar
amps.

Run your CAD straight into the snake. Take a Direct or Insert out from the
main mixer to an unused channel of the snake, and run that into your stage
amp.
