My friend got one of those amps, took it back after a couple days, said it was terrible. He was playing it with a Schecter C1, I believe...

I'm not really sure. It has DiMarzio pick ups and I think there are three knobs and four switches and I don't know what most of them do. I'm more of a composition person and know next to nothing about equipment.

4 switches?
The knobs are for volume and tone (you should know that, honestly)
What dimarzios? Makes a big difference. And also, are they stock or what?

I looked at the Carvin site and all of their guitars seem to have three switches and four knobs, but I can't find an explanation of what they're for. I knew one knob was volume and one was tone, but I still have no idea what the other stuff does.

I don't know what model the DiMarzios are. I just know they're active pick ups and they're a customization over what originally came with the guitar.

knobs are gonna be volume + tone for the different pickups, I think
by 3 switches, do you mean a three way switch, or 3 different switches.
Not stock pickups, then...
Does you have a picture of this guitar thou couldst post?

I mean there are three independent switches. I looked for a picture, but I don't seem to have any and it's at my brother's house, because I never use it now that I have the F-50.
