Well, comparing setting doesn't really work - too much depends on the guitar and the pickups the pedal is used with (high/low output? bright/warm tone?, etc.), as well as on the amp the pedal is going into (tube/solid state? Marshall/Vox/BF Fender/tweed Fender type tone? completely clean/on the edge/overdriven? closed/opne-back speaker cab? British/Celestion-type speakers, or American/Jensen-type? etc.), and most of all, the application you are using the Monkey for: classic rock crunch/bluesy singing solo sound/twangy country-rock break-up/biting, edgy, cuting solo sound/etc.
...too many factors that contribute to the way you have to set the knobs to make it work for your guitar, amp, playing style, and musical genre!
Personally, playing rockabilly/country rock/roots rock with a Terle with slightly higher output, but bright pickusp, I like my BM best with the gain set on the lower half of the range, and the bass and treble pots depending on the amp I use it with (bass turned up a bit & treble turned down for Vox-ish, EL84-equipped Carvin Vintage 16; bass turned down & treble at neutral for my Marshall JTM45 clone, and both EQ knobs around neutral for my Fender-ish 6L6-equipped Kustom amp).
