I thought they were planning to do that. I can give you a quick rundown of what I use for my tone though.
First thing is don’t scoop the mids(I have them at about 7/8) the treble at 6ish (for presence in the mix) and bass at around 3. Beside these basic settings I always have my reverb on (and kinda high don’the know the settings by heart) and during solos I have a slight delay too!
Hope this helps a bit!

I’m gonna go ahead and chim in for some general tips… There’s a ton of sweet tones and there’s no magic formula to achieve a “sweet tone”..I do wish there was lol it takes a lot of fiddling around and that all really just depends on the type of tone you’re going for..I like a bit more high end in my sound than “most” but not so much that it pierces your ear drums..there’s a sweet spot and finding it takes a lot of time! But a general rule is to set everything at noon and tweak from there. I was a guitar tech for a national act for about ten years and in my experience I’ve found that most people’s sweet spots are with the knobs somewhere between 4-7..every now and then 3-8. Some amps have more bass..some more mids..some more treble. Just depends what you like… Hope this helps a bit! WHOOO!!

I go 60% pregain.. full bass and treble 60% mid.. full post gain.
I also have the chorus ensemble pedal for most of my lead parts. And my delay as well. Wah too.. and my grunge pedal for certain songs. Because honestly, nothing beats the grundge pedal. Wish they still made them.
