Best Backing Tracks to Test Live Patches

Does anyone have a specific go-to backing track to test how their live patches sit in a mix? I know we always chat about getting your patches to gig volume, totally have that covered. I've played around with different backing tracks, and was just curious what everyone is doing!

Rolls PM50se - Stereo IEM feed without using 2 Aux sends?

Rolls PM50se - Stereo IEM feed without using 2 Aux sends?

The more I think about it I'm only getting "half-stereo" per the manual which I suppose defeats the purpose. Does anyone know if I take output 2 left/right to a Y cable into the stereo 1/4" of the rolls, if I will get a stereo image?

Mission SP-1: Sweep Restriction

Sorry I more-so meant does the switch get in the way on the SP-1 vs the EP-1? I've read a few testimonials where people complained the SP-1 switch got in the way and the EP-1 was a more full sweep. The main reason I'm so interested is I found a used SP-1 SPL for $95 at GC and reserved it.
