I'm always hearing about "clean guitar sounds", but I don't exactly know what it is. What would be the typical gain, treble, bass, delay, etc. settings for a clean sound.

What a clean sound is can be very arbitrary, depending on who you ask. Also, it's impossible to give settings for just any setup. I can play a Strat through a 1967 Twin Reverb with all knobs at 10 and it's STILL clean....my ears are bleeding, but it's a clean tone. Alternately, if I put my little Pro Jr volume on 3, it's already a dirty sound.
What kind of guitars, amps are you using? Generally, a clean sound just has no distortion, generally low gain settings, using clean channels on amps that have them.

A clean sound has no distortion but often used with reverb, chorus, delay or flanger. It's as close to an acoustic tone as you can get.
A good example of clean guitar tones are the jangly rythm guitars of older R&B/Funk songs.
A loud, clear clean tone is one of the hardest to pull off.
