I've had my CODE since the release days, and haven't really used the speakers at all until now since I lived in an apartment until now, so only used it for recording through the USB port before.
Now that I've been playing it for real for a couple of weeks, I've noticed something worrying. Even at the lowest volume the amp produces a terribly sharp frequency that is seriously hurting my ears. I've tried literally every stock preset and there's no difference, it's completely static. I've tried adjusting the gate,presence and every possible setting without any difference. So I suspect(actually hope) that something is broken and that it's just not the nature/sound of the amp, cause that would not make for a very usable amp.
I can crank my other amps without this issue, so it's not my ears that are broken. I've been speculating about the speakers being so unused that they need to loose up with time, but that is just wishful thinking perhaps?
I was hoping someone else could relate to this and have experienced the same thing, and possibly a solution?
Thanks in advance.
It may well be that the speakers just need 'breaking in' however if you are concerned that it may be something else could you please send a recording to servicedesk@marshallamps.com for us to take a look at. As there is no problem recording through the USB i would suggest maybe recording on your mobile phone and sending us the clip if at all possible.
