Hello, I'm looking for a fast and easy way to record bass and guitar covers for instagram, and I stumbled upon Roland Go mixer...It seems fairly easy and fast, you just plug your instrument it the mixer, and then the mixer into your phone and it records straight into the video file

Has anyone tried this?

Looks good, esp. for the price. Yamaha makes similar mixers: AG03 and AG06.
All usb-interfaces that work without special drivers - most of them - work with iOS devices.
Maybe think about getting a special camera app that shows the input device and the audio levels. Otherwise it is often guessing if the camera app really uses the usb device and not the internal mic and if the levels are o.k. Some apps allow monitoring, the original camera app from Apple not. Supposing you are using an iPhone. Don't have experience with Android phones...

What I can't understand about this thing, is how do I get my sounds / tone? I don't know if its posible to connect my amp or a pedal before connecting my bass to it

It works like a DI. You can connect all your pedals before going into the mixer, just like you do before going into your amp. If you use the line out of an amp, you have to go into the keyboard input, which is a line level input. You can't use a DI box that needs phantom power with the small mixer. DI boxes need a mic input with phantom power. If you're using a DI out of an amp, this should go into the mic-input.
