Re: I can't get my clean tone in the mix!

Yes and no. Mids will definitely make your guitar come out more, but it could just as easily turn your rich clean tone into a spanky percussive tone. For this scenario, I'd go with the fender treatment-bass down, treble up, and if you have that graphic EQ on the mesa: notch up the very high mids. Treble WILL give you serious cut into a mix, and when playing with a band it tends to sound just right.
By yourself, it will sound annoyingly piercing, but the other sounds of a band will fill in the space left by your EQ in the bass and mid region, as they will leave plenty of space in the treble region until you hit the cymbal range. This is THE clean tone configuration that has worked for thousands of musicians for the past 50 years.
