will mg series foot controller work with code series amps.the guy at guitar center ordered me mg4 item 476224000000000 instead of code series 1500000005811 for my marshall code 50 yesterday.I stopped by today and he thinks itll work,but i think maybe features are different and also think quality of code stompware may be better,any advise?It's a pain cause i have to wait until end of week to get mg4 and then return to order correct pedal,THANKS
I suggest you find another Marshall retailer... one who knows what is what as far as equipment and their compatability.
It seems this guy just wants to sell you a switch without checking specifications and other technical information, and because he probably ordered the wrong item to begin with so he wants you to eat his mistake.. The PEDL-90008 is only useful with the MG series, at least according to Marshall specifications. They make no mention of cross compatibilty with CODE and MG, and it's not because Marshall just wants you buy more footswitches. The CODE series has many more adjustments and capabilities than the MG series and requires a fully programmable digital footswitch. The MG pedal is not that type of switch. Consider that the MG has the limitation of channels for CLEAN, CRUNCH, OD-1, OD-2 whereas the CODE has Presets that far exceed these modest settings.
Ask the retailer how to program one of the 100 Presets into the MG footswitch. I'll bet he will fail or simply try to pass it off. My suggestion to you is make sure you understand what works and does not work with your CODE before getting anything ordered. You need to educate yourself before commiting. Check the Marshall web sites and other resources. You can't rely on the retailer to know everything about everything.
Hope this helps.
