Clean and/or overdrive....

The fact that Stephen appears from nowhere, is sentenced to death in an emotional public trial without anyone interfering at all and is then altogether forgotten as if nothing happened, is already suspicious.

I agree the cab & Alnico "Blue Bulldog" is big part of the sound. I know what you mean by the overdrive/clean...I guess I was thinking some of the Beatles, Tom Petty & Queen material. That type midrange & high-end & the harmonics.
Often when someone else post their settings they approach it different than I would & it makes me see the amp or gear in a different way. Opening a new door...that I tune to my taste.
I think about picking up a few vintage or modern equivalents of a few of my favorites like a AC30, Tweed Twin, Blackface Bassman, JMP Super Lead, JCM 800, Dumble, Gibson GA -79RVT, Hiwatt DR103, Orange Overdrive 120, etc....
But often I find I can get enough of these flavors from the amps I have. In many ways obviously this has advantages & part of the reason I use Fryette amps is the versatility.

I need to post up some of my favorite settings ..... Moving south soon. Will be after that.

I change my setting depending on my needs at the time.... these are ones I have been using lately. I turn the boost on & off with all of them on the foot-switch...
O'clock....

This was using my Gibson LPDC with JB in bridge(works fine with others). I use the neck pickup with the first setting usually. I also use my pickup selector and volume on my guitar often. The cab is a 80's Mars 4x12 with Greenbacks on top & V30 on bottom.

The Sig X is never going to have the hair a Mars has .... With the SAS pedal I can add hair.
But this is kind of in that range / This is for a Mars & modified type voicing.
Rhythm & Lead Channel:
Live / Brit or Burn / Blow for more lower midrange in the voice.
Gain I - 3:00 - max
Gain II - 5:00 or less
Boost On
More Mode /either
40W /either
Master - 9:00 ~ 11:00 / up above this it starts to add poweramp grind.
Wood
Treb - 2:00
Mid - 2:00 ~ Max
Bass - 2:00
Pres - 2:00 ~ 4:00

The Fryette never really sounds like whatever amp I am emulating ~ but it can ballpark a lot of amps.
I consider the Lead channel more "creamy".
Try all 4 voices that can be found using the LESS / MORE & 100W / 40W - switches.
Depending on your guitar & cab you might want the presence much lower.
For a more Hiwhat type voice set GAIN I - in the 1:00 / 2:00 range.
As before this is only a starting place recommendation.
