Cool. Sorry misread the question as the reverse.This is a angle that I'd not considered! Problem is that I own a single coil instrument. I'm trying to get a nice humbucker clean and not a tone match of a single coil.

I got closer to what I wanted by lower in the volume
That's where you're losing your highs.
Unless you have a treble bleed mod on your guitar, when you turn the guitar's vol down you're also losing highs.
The Fletcher-Munson effect affects this too, making it even more pronounced if you're playing at gig levels
Learned something today. Thanx for taking the time to post. What you highlighted makes perfect sense now that I think about it.
I'll try to mess less with the volume pot once I get a tone that I like. In the AMP block I typically just use drive and trim to get the breakup I want and level to balance the volume across my presets. I do have a VOL block controlled by an expression pedal but I always put the block near the end of the chain so that I can tweak the final output level without changing the sound.
Am I taking the wrong approach?
With super-clean tones, "muddy" means too much low mids. Try dialing some of that out....better but I still find the tones to be muddy.

If mud is a character you want, go for it!By low mids, I assume you mean 250-500Hz range. I have been using a PEQ block to try to remove the mud but I don't want to fiddle too much. Part of this journey for me is to learn but also to keep the "character" of the amp and HB pickups.

If you use a PEQ with a high Q, e.g. 3.6, you can cut the mud without losing your balls.
Suggested setting appreciated. I'll give that a whirl as I don't think I pushed the Q up that high in my previous attempts.
Understood. But I couldn't help myself.Ha! I deserved that! My comment was intended to highlight that I wanted the mud out without eviscerating the tone and/or destroying the element of that amp model which makes it interesting.
