Need help with Marshall AVT 150H settings?

Hi. I have a Fender American Standard HSS Strat with Tex-Mex pickups and a Marshall AVT 150H. I need help getting the settings right for my amp. There are so many knobs and whatever I do I seem to get a really empty staticky sound. There are four channels I have: Acoustic Simulator (which sounds awesome), Clean, OD1, and OD2. The Acc. Simulator has a on to add body, the clean has a on to make it bright, and the OD1 and OD2 channels have scoop ons. I then have the treble, b, and middle knobs (2 sets, 1 for OD1/OD2 and another for Acc. Sim./Clean). I also have a master and presence knob. For every channel, I have a separate volume knob. One thing I'm wondering is whether it is better to use the separate volume knobs or the master volume knob to make the sound louder or if it matters at all. All the channels have their own gain knobs, except for Acc. Sim. which has a "Top" knob. I then have a built-in FX Loop with 16 effects covering halls, rooms, plates, gated reverb, chorus, flange, delay, chorus+room, chorus+delay+room, and modulation. There are 8 knobs here allowing me to change the effects. All in all, my amp has 24 knobs and 8 ons and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I read good reviews about my amp, so yeah. It's a Valve State AUT 2000 (solid state) amp. I want a strong punk-rock sound that will sound as good with power chords as it will with lead. For any clean/acoustic playing, the acoustic simulator is actually amazing and sounds AWESOME. I just need a good rock sound for recording!! Please help!
