Outside of experimentation with these switches (and if you do experiment, be gentle and careful!), I would recommend making your adjustment either with the instruments tone controls (I find there is ample tonal headroom and then some) or otherwise.

Myself, I like the 18V circuit fine: For my ears; While I hear tighter mids, I find no reason to make adjustments to the switches. Any adjustment I make is with the tone controls of the bass or post eq from the amp.
I know somewhere someplace there are some numbers written down for the bass and Treble but the Mids work differently with the shape of the 'notch' in the cut or boost. Honestly, when I chose the frequency settings, I did it totally by Ear.
