I can boost gain. there a push buton called "bright" and two other knobs for resonance and prescense.) As my amp is still pretty new I'm playing around on it to try and find a tone I like. There no real setting(s) I sick to.
As previously stated, try keeping your "bass" control turned down and the "middle" about in the middle.

If you WERE playing with the amp cranked and the guitar volume turned down, that's 90% of your "overly bassy" problem, right there.

You might want to kick on the "bright" button, too...that boosts the highs, which at a low to moderate volume will give some nice "sparkle" to your guitar tone.
