On the 'X' I would personally hover around the clean setting first, but that's me.
To note, the THR10 std model has a basic acoustic channel and a THR5A (predominantly acoustic amp) has an additional Electric guitar clean channel where the blend channel becomes a gain.
I have the THR5A as I prefer acoustic, but dabble now and again in electric.
The Fx section contains chorus, compressor, delay and reverb. the only one currently to have a compressor in the range (I think)
I am still learning how to get the best sound out of my THR5A, but they are wonderful amps for home use.
A different amp will make the world of difference, nowadays the amp I switch on most is a Fender G-DEC 3 30, backing tracks, MP3 input, and you can plug it into a PA for gigs, sounds fine loud, quiet or through headphones.
Handy having a metronome available too.
I think the new Fender Mustang range is the latest iteration of the GDEC, and seem to get good reviews from players rather than magazines.
The sonic contribution ratio between guitar and amp is probably 35:65 to the amp...

Even a half hour with a friend who remembers what it was like starting out can accelerate your learning process exponentially. You might also find that it's either your gear holding you back (settings need tweaking or it's really not up to the job) and not you.
I had the usual acoustic when I started out and was on the verge of giving up until a friend came round with a Tele copy and I found out that it didn't have to be finger-mutilatingly hard.
