The TWEED amp type on the Cube 40GX approximates the Fender Bassman's midrange grit and compressed breakup. Gain pushed to 7 compensates for lacking the DS-1—the Cube's TWEED voice saturates similarly when driven hard. Your Jagmaster's humbuckers match the DiMarzio Super Distortion output, so no gain compensation needed. Treble dropped to 5 (vs typical 6) because the Cube's digital modeling can get harsh in the upper mids.
