What is the Minotaur overdrive based on?

So i have made the most mindblowing VH4 preset of all time with my helix stadium, and the tone shaping with this overdrive adds a huge part.

I'm trying to replicate the same tone with a physical rig, and i need this exact kind of overdrive pedal. Anyone knows?

 

According to google it's this Klon® Centaur pedal. But instead of tone knob it says treble. Is the Helix Minotaur overdrive tone knob really just treble?

Most tone knobs are just that, passive high cuts.

Yes, the Minotaur is a model of a Klon Centaur.

 

"Treble" on the Klon suggests that it just adds treble but it's mids, too. So Line 6's "Tone" is probably a better name for that parameter. 

 

Think of it as a "everything except bass" level control after the distortion.
