Need some help with Amp settings?

I know, I know, "just tweak it" but I am asking for help to find a good starting point. Currently I am playing through a PRS guitar fitted with stock humbucker pickups and going through a Fender HotRod Deville, I am looking for a heavy, crunchy tone (like BFMV or A7X), the knobs at my disposal, in case you don't know the amp, are Drive, Treble, Bass, Middle, Reverb and Presence.

Thanks a bunch!

    Try with theese for BFMV it should sound good

    And maybe something like this for A7X

    Gain: 8

    Bass: 5.5

    Middle: 8.5

    Treble: 5

    But you also try to experiment until you get sound you want

    Hello there,

    This web site has 2 pages of variuos suggested settings.

    http://musthaveampsettings.webs.com/

    Hopefully you will find some you like. The sound varies depending on amps and speakers. So use them as a starting point. Then try to dial in a tone that works with your gear. Somewhere on those 2 pages you should be able to find some useful settings.
