Live Model 12 set up

[Juanbang]

Hi, as the only member of our six people band knowing just a bit on the matter, I’m in charge of the sound on our first gig in a couple weeks. The Club doesn’t want an acoustic Drum set, so my brother will bring his electric one. Let me explain the gear involved so someone could help me developing from there.
-Guitar1 / Deluxe Rev Amp, no LINE out
-Guitar2 / Amp with LINE out
-Bass / Amp with LINE out
-Keyboards / Amp with LINE out
I think two MICs for Vocals and the e-Drum may go from my Model 12 to the two FOH speakers through the MAIN L/R bus.

My main problem now is how to set some kind of Monitoring on stage, for Vocals and Drums mainly.
DRUMMER: I would like to give him an AUX SEND, in order for him to listen to his Drums, plus Vocals, Bass, Keys and one guitar on his Headphones.
VOCALS: They need a stage Monitor to listen to himself.
DRUMS: We all need to listen to them on stage.
- Can I use the AUX1 to feed the Drummer H.Phones and the AUX2 to feed one or two stage Monitors? (Guitar1 would stay out of the Mix unless I decide to use an Amp with LINE out).
- Would it be better to use the SUB output for any of those?

I would appreciate any suggestions, as I said, I’ve no experience yet

@Juanbang,
Your question is about creating an effective PA/sound reinforcement/stage monitor system for playing "live" (somewhat outside the scope of this forum).

I'm not an owner/user of the Model series, but it seems the process should be similar to setting up a Model Series control room monitor feed and a studio cue system feed for the recording talent.

It's my understanding the Model Series offers several options for setting that up, depending in part on whether a stereo or mono signal is important; the need for customized mixer levels; etc.

There's a video in the "Tutorial and Informational Videos For Model 24/16/12" sticky thread titled "Signal to Headphones and Control Room"; and another titled "Using the Aux Bus. Perhaps these can help get you pointed in the right direction.

As shredd pointed out, following the signal flow in your Owner Manual's Block Diagram can help you understand how to route the incoming signals to best meet your band's needs.

You can use the Aux buses for anything you like, so sure you can feed monitor power amps with them. If you can send the Aux sends to a sub, then you have 1 fader to control the overall level without changing the individual levels.
