The quote above regarding EQ is mine. My point is with modellers, they've modelled the tone stacks of all the classic amps... so you need to approach them the same way as you would the real thing... but few do. Also, most people set EQ on programmable modellers at home in isolation - get them out in a live environment and the nice smooth, harmonically rich sound dialled in gets lost in the splash of the drums and the boom of the bass. And when recording, the vast majority of the 'magic' of valve amps when recorded is due to mic position, EQ and mic - with a healthy dollop of post production. Approach your use of modelling in a similar way and you can't fail to get great sounds.
But there is a major difference in that later Fenders (not Tweeds) do have the tone stack much earlier in the circuit than Marshalls - all the amps derived from the 5F6-A Bassman circuit (Marshall, Soldano, Mesa Rectifier etc) have it after where some, or all if the master volume turned down, of the distortion is generated, whereas BF Fenders and amps derived from them (eg Mark series Boogies) have it before any distortion - which does also make them more touchy.

I cant remember if that's a twin only thing
All amps with passive tone stacks lose volume at some settings, especially if you turn all of them down at the same time. Depending on the exact configuration of the mid control, they may go to silent with them all at zero - most Fenders with mid controls do, although Marshalls don't.

The Cornell Romany Plus has an EQ Cut switch. Bypassing the tone stack makes the amplifier noticeably louder. (Shades of 5F1 Champ.)

For silky, warm and round jazz tones, run the .50 Caliber in the Rhythm mode with the Treble set low
BASS, MIDDLE You've already read our recommendations for these settings in the TREBLE section
Now on Helix, post-Kemper, and happy enough. Still don’t know how to tweak but get by.
