KB12/KB15 tone stack ... flat EQ settings?

Endorsing Artist: Used Fender Lead Sleds and Hartke cabs with bent grills
Loving my first Hartke after 30+ years of Peavey tube guitar and bass amps. The KB12 is perfect ... almost. I love the tones. Hate the the DI is pre-eq. So I am picking up the new Hartke Bass Attack DI to run to the board and to the amp so I know the audience is hearing what I'm hearing. And I wanna set the amp as flat as possible.

Does the KB use the same Fender tone stack as the LH series? Larry Hartke told us the flat settings on the LH are 2 - 10 - 2. Is this the same on the KB?
 
Hey from just north if you!

I just googled up the manual. It's on the Sampson website.

Turns out, "flat" on the KB is all EQ knobs straight up. It says in the manual that for each EQ knobs turning counterclockwise from centers cuts and turning clockwise from center boosts.
