"BTW, did you see anywhere that tapping the FX send will shut off the internal FX?"

Tapping the Fx send does not shut off the internal Fx. The internal Fx is either turned off by having all of the Channel Fx knobs turned completely down and/or the Fx to Main turned completely down. The design intent seems to be to have the Fx Send dedicated to an external Fx and return to a clear Channel. The Fx Channel knob for the Channel used for the return should have the Channel Fx knob turned completely turned down to prevent feeding that channel back into the internal Fx's unit and likely cause feed back.

It is a nice unit and should work well getting signal out to IEM's for the OP.

I'm also a big fan of the Yamaha MG mixers like you have. They are real workhorses.
