Search the web. You'll find a whole modding subculture out there for this amp. It's kind of like the Fender Blues Junior, sells loads but no one's really happy with it out of the box.
BTW, Carvin use the word "soak" to label their gain controls for some reason
Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)
Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience

I know of the guy who came up with these mods from a couple of other BBS sites I used to frequent:

Like markb said, lots sold but most end up getting modded. Most likely, you won't be happy with the amp straight out of the box.

Check out the Carvin forum. I think there's some positive talk about it (and a lot of talk about modding the vintage series amps!).Originally Posted by piebaldpython
