And for monitors thats what i have been fighting with was our lead vocalist had a TC helicon effects foot unit and i could never get rid of feedback in his monitors. So we got rid of that and i figured maybe a rack effects unit would be better to get a not so dry sound in his monitors. I spoke with my dad who is an engineer and he agreed effects in monitors is not good. Monitors are suppose to be a dry mix and thats it.

Thanks
I usually set the FX unit on 100% wet when I return to a channel. That way the return channel is all wet and you just set fader to taste.
Most aux returns are stereo so if you have a stereo effect then it's better to use them.
I usually try to send all monitors dry.
If your singer has an effects unit onstage then you could split the mic before the unit and use two channels on the mixer. One wet and one dry for the monitors.
