using Guitar distortion pedal with my mixer?

Gear involved:

1x Mackie Onyx 1220i (mpc 1000, microkorg and cd player plugged into this mixer)

1x Nano Big Muff Pi Distortion Pedal

1x A pair of KRK Rokit 5 Gen 2 Speaker Monitors

Now, I've been researching this and have been seeing a lot of people mentioning a "re-amp device". I have no idea about impedance problems and I just don't want to destroy my gear. I just want to play music

What I would really like to do, if possible, is setup this Big Muff Pi pedal as a send/return, so that I can apply so much of the pedal to different mixer channels.

It's unlikely you could damage anything by doing it wrong here, but you might just get garbage sound.
Guitars put out a much lower level signal than audio gear (and high impedance), so the pedal most likely won't handle a normal line-level sound from your mixer.
A re-amp converts a line-level, low impedance signal to a high-impedance instrument-level signal (and vice versa) to use guitar pedals with line level gear.

But you might be able to get away with just connecting the pedal straight to the send/return loop—as long as you have the send level set low enough, and the return level higher to compensate.
Try things out, others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can reasonably break something by passing it a line level instead of instrument. probably would just clip/overload terribly.

you'll be fine, there is a chance it could be a little too loud but probably not dangerously loud. hook it up and start withe pedal at minimum volume, then slowly roll it up to an appropriate volume.
