Using that site, with a Fender tone stack, just turn the mid control up and the others to zero
Vox: bass and treble on zero
You could just try it of course.
Passive Tone Controls can only make things quieter (they subtract audio frequencies within different frequency bands). With all controls set to max, the audio signal passing through is at its maximum but it's not "flat" at that point. Bypassing the tone controls completely results in a dramatic increase in signal level. Some amp designs feature this on a "pull pot switch".

The tolerance of components used in these circuits are fairly wide meaning that references to numbers on dials are pretty arbitrary.
For adjusting the relative dials, do a search on the Matt Schofield amp setup. He describes an approach where you tweak the dials one by one using your ears to guide you to an optimum setting...whatever that is!
Now let’s add to the mix where should your guitar knobs be set and which pickup should you use when adjusting your amp?
If you max everything out, overall you will have more bass and treble but the mids are likely to be scooped by comparison.
There isn't a "finite quantity of tone" which is shared out between the pots, well not in that way anyway.
