Clapton Tweed Twin.....?

I've been using and liking the Keith Urban twin model in my AX8 but was wondering (looking around) about whether or not one could make some changes to the KUTT sim and make it more like the ECTT model. Anyone have any pointers on that? I'm not really certain what the circuit differences would be or what to change to make that adjustment. Also, what on board factory cab would be best for this? I currently use the 2x10 mix for my cab sim.

Thanks

ps: I saw this thread already as well:

There's no Keith Urban Twin model. The 5F8 Tweed model is a model of a Tweed Twin (80w), as owned and used by Keith Urban.

The EC Twinolux amplifier is a reissue of that Tweed Twin (the lower powered 40w version), so the existing 5F78 model will sound pretty similar to the EX Twinolux.

Thanks for the info. I'm aware there isn't a Fender issued KU twin amp. I just meant the one modeled by Fractal that is/was owned by KU.
 
The high powered twin is completely different to the 5E8A low powered 57 Twin used by Clapton. Claptons tweed amps (several were made by John Surh) had larger transformers a solid state rectifier and four power tubes although he pulled two out when recording. The speakers were C12N reconed by his keyboard player at the time. The tone stack is completely different from the high powered twin as well. The reissue fender 5E8A twins sound different to Claptons as well, those amps he had made were a one of kind, amazing sounding when pushed with the mid boost on Claptons guitar.
