NEED TO KNOW SH@T- Amplifier EQ Settings____'How To get a Great Sound'

RULE OF THUMB FOR GREAT TONE 

MASTER VOLUME - put at a comfortable but not silly audible level

VOLUME - put on 5

TREBLE  - put on 6

MIDS     - put on 0

BASS     - put on 2

Now, move the bass up until your high E and your 
low E sound balance to the same level.
Bring up the mids to 3.
Play a bit. If the highs are not crisp push them up to 7.

Alternative
Solution
Put the master at playing level and play some more.
You should be in the ballpark. If not listen for what is missing.
If it's 'cut' then notch up the highs but do the balance thing 
again with the bass. If its fatness then notch up the mids.

Always make small changes and check by playing. 
Actually do bits from the tunes you play not just 
hot licks and slamming chords.
Good luck :-)
