Dialing in USA Rythm 1 (USA Clean)

Everyone is raving about the USA Clean but I can't get it to sound right.


Any tips? What are your settings? do you use the output eq?
Mark amps are basically modified Fenders. You should be able to dial it as a Fender and without the GEQ, but you can always use it if you find the need to.
 
I recently re-visited the Mk IV Cln and the Lonestar. Since the recent revision to the preamp tubes these amps have a lot more gain than they used to. I've been having trouble getting them to sound good, too.

I had a Mesa Mk IV for about 17 years and the clean section is too hot for my taste.

Yeah, I know about input trim and I've got it rolled way down but I didn't have that option with the real amp. The real amp stayed clean to at least half-way up the input gain knob. The model doesn't do that. It starts to break up before it gets to 1 on the input gain.
