I have the same doubt about it. In fact I never found any schematic diagram for any Code model. My own Code 100H (230 V AC) I bought new was serviced by the vendor in a way to be functional on 127 V. I know that's a simple configuration on the power supply wiring, but I'd like to have the schematics in hands to be able to make it original to the 230 V original spec. That's a shame Marshall doesn't have it available. - 28 Jan 2023 at 06:22 PM

You have little chance of getting a circuit diagram for a Code amplifier. Even if you could there is no supply of spare parts outside of Marshall service centres.

So if my amp is not turning on I have to trash it and buy a New one??? - 24 Jun 2022 at 01:10 PM

Or get Marshall to repair it. - 24 Jun 2022 at 02:50 PM

It would be exactly the same with any modern amplifiers from Fender, Boss, Blackstar, line 6 etc. These things are incredibly complex and the electronics are closer in design to a computer with microprocessors, data busses, analogue to digital conversion etc than they are to a guitar amplifier, and therefore well beyond the skillset of your average "electric guy".
I f you want something "old school" that can be repaired forever with a circuit diagram and readily available spares, I suggest you look for a point to point soldered turret board PCB based amp like an old Fender Blues Junior, but expect it to cost 10 times the price of a Marshall code. - 27 Jun 2022 at 07:55 AM
