Your Fender amp has a certain frequency range response by default (all EQ pots on the middle - 5). Here's a picture of frequency range responses of three most popular brands:
As you can see the character of these amps is quite different. Where Marshall is pretty "gain-ish" and beefed up, with prominent mids-highs, Fender has a pretty mild mid-high response, and this gives it its characteristic clean-clean sound. This chart shows when all the pots are left to 5 - in the middle. You Fender amp has a lots of headroom for adding mids and highs. If you add mids to the Marshall it would get distorted pretty soon because it doesn't have enough free space for clean sound. When you move your EQ pots the curve is moved up or down based on the range that you choose. Bass, Middle or Treble. Presence is above treble and gives the sound some harmonic richness, while drive just amplifies the whole thing.

Thanks Owen. It's more than I knew before. I'm sure your right that I just have to fool with it. Thanks again Sam. hope this helps you some. http://media.musicalplanet.com/pdf/FEN321.PDF A lot of times you just need to play around with the controls and find what sounds good to you. Try setting everything to 12:00 o'clock (5 on the nob). Then play a cord. Turn one of the nobs from 0 to 10 slowly and listen to how it changes things. Good luck. Your amp looks like my Flex Tone III. Clasic look. Got to love it. -------------------- "Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato
