power rack's monitor out to guitar cabs for my stereo onstage amp- how to best eq it?

for anyone using the power rack's monitor outs for a stereo onstage rig into real guitar cabs, do you first use the monitor out equalizer, or the actual rig profiles TrebMidBassPres controls, as your primary tone adjusting for the guitar cabs sound? Or possibly a combination of both? Any tips are welcome!

If you are sending the Main Outputs to the PA, use the Monitor EQ for your guitar cabinet(s).

Sorry, guess I was not clear, am not sending anything to the PA. I am asking whether people have had the best results for tone control of the guitar's stage cabs comes from using the monitor out EQ, or the actual individual profile's EQ?

I would use the individual Rig EQ to get sounds you are happy with and Monitor Out EQ to tailor these to your own on stage monitor situation. Even though you don’t send anything to PA just now, you may do in future so you would want the basic Rig EQ to be good for multiple potential outputs rather than just a guitar cab.
