EDIT: I apologise here.
I have thought for a long time something was wrong with my amp, and had tried EQ settings on the amp before, and do not remember any change.
Tonight however, I mover the middle and treble both to around 2 o clock, and the bass down to about 9-my god. I am finally happy with the amp. I feel very dumb right now, but am very, very happy the amp sounds as good as I expected it too, and no longer feel I have lost money on this purchase-it sounds how I remember my guitar tutors sounding, very nice indeed!
