It actually depends on your amp head. A lot of variations need to be thought about. I have a Crate GT1200H, sometimes I use the distortion on the head(only when practicing). Are you using a distortion pedal? If you are, when using my dist. pedal, I put my high almost all the way up, mid a bit past half, the low a little farther then the mid. I get a really thick, chunky tone but clear. Hope this helps you some.

If you need the answer in mids, bass, treble, here are my settings: Drive: 10, Mids 1: 2 Mid 2: 1 Bass: 10 Treble: 8.5
