How do I get code 50 to work with Pro Tools? I hooked up the usb cable to my computer, but nothing happens, nothing opens.  Do I use a different Asio driver than the one I use with my MOTU interface? If so will they be compatable with-in the same session? The whole reason I bought the Code 50 is because it advertised as being able to connect as a Interface for recording! So far it's been a nightmare!

Is the USB cable supposed to be included with the CODE 25 amp?  Mine didn't come with one.

Hello Marshall
I'm a beginner in guitar, and the code25 and my first amp, so happy !
but the front USB socket on the code25 leaves me with doubts about its solidity...
after 1 year of use my usb socket on code 25 no longer works, by plugging and unplugging so much, the connector is worn.
I of course changed the USB cable, and tried on another PC.
Is there a way to repair the USB connector? or change it?

thanks best regards for your support stef

I've just bought a Marshall CODE 50 and after playing a bit with it and experimenting around with the settings, I came to a conclusion that the cabinet models sound better recorded with the direct input than through the amp speaker when playing.

Just wondering if anyone thinks the same. Sorry if I couldn't make it more clear, English isn't my native language and I don't know how to fully express myself.

Hello-

Bought a second-hand CODE 50 and really love its flexibility when paired with the app.

I've tried recording by mic'ing it up with a SM57  but found the cabinet/speaker to be a little rattley and couldn't determine the source.

That led me to explore USB to DAW, unfortunately my brand new, and ten year old MacBooks both do not see the amp, and I cannot update thr Firmware via browser, per the instructions.

As a last ditch effort I went 1/8th" stereo cable out to L/R RCA with 1/4" adapters to get into my DAWs LINE-INs and pan hard left and right.

Works works great, but my question is - does the CODE 50 send a stereo signal from the headphone out? -and should I be running to hard panned inputs to capitalize on a stereo image? 

Also, any remedy for connecting via USB to my MacBook to at least update the firmware? 

Thx!

When I plug my Code 50 into my computer, and my DAW (Cakewalk) it either records or plays back at warp speed. I can't find anywhere in the DAW to slow it down. Is this an amp problem?

Hi,
when I connect CODE 25 to Centos 9 I get a mono device, qjackctl shows the amp as  "CODE mono - capture_mono";
when I connect to Windows I get a stereo device (as expected).

Is there a way to make it work as a stereo device ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello! 

I have a Marshall CODE50 combo, and when i connect it to my iPad via cable, the input and the output works well in applications developed by Apple (like Garage Band), but I can't control of my amplifier settings in Marshall Gateway app. Is there any way to control the combo on the iPad through the cable?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

I can connect to audacity with no problems. However I bought a professional version of Presonus Studio One. Been trying for days to get it to work. I have seen that others are having the same issue. It doesn't look like anyone has even made an attempt to answer. I would think you would want to have your amp heard on proffesional recordings. Or at least help those that bought your amp.

The connection is usb cable from amp to PC. This is the error we recieve.

Hello-

I used to have no problem connecting my Code 50 with my Mac via USB. All of a sudden neither my computer or DAW will recognize it. I switched out the usb cable, did a factory reset of my amp, tried to update the software, but I can't get the mac to recognize the amp for the life of me. Is there a more extensive reboot I don't know about? Very curious as it used to work just fine and I can't think of anything I did to jeopardize it. Thank you.

Hi,

I understand that the Code 50 can send/receive MIDI over a USB connection.

Is there a MIDI Implementation document somewhere so that I can see what commands do what?

Thanks

Dear Marshall....

I'm a total fan and player of the Marshall Code Amp. In my opinion the best amp in the world ( The Marshall Code) that is...

This amp has everything I need to gig.. record..  and just jam... in one easy to carry unit..  But... I have a problem... my USB plug on my Marshall Code 100w Head is broken will not plug into my cord because the USB port was damaged by me. The prongs in the head were bent backwards and are broken...

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET THIS AWESOME AMP FIXED... PLEASE 🙏 

THANKS.. Allen Perez

Hi everyone, 

I bought the new DSP module and plugged it into my Code 25. Everything seemed to be fine,

However, when I turned it on the code went into bootloader mode and said "chk usb". I inserted a cable and my PC saw it saying "connected". Still neither the marshall site not the PC application provide with possibility to update. The site shows no information and the PC app says that the last firmware version is installed and cannot reinstall it. When press reinstall button nothing happens.

I tried Mac, MS Edge and other browsers, nothing works

Any ideas?

In case Marshall decides to do another round of Codes, or for people that want to buy one, here is my bottom line after dealing with this thing for a few years. I had Line 6 experience and wanted a simpler all-in-one modeling combo with a bluetooth app that could do hard rock. The Katana looked like a toy so I bought this.

PROS: Solid construction. Looks great. Good range of amps and effects. Bluetooth app is very good and can tune every parameter. Tones can be downloaded and backed up to/from Marshall site. Amp can sound very good (after a lot of tweaking). The Plexi, American OD, JTM Crunch and Acoustic amps are good. The Guv’nor, Compressor, Chorus, noise gate and all the delays and reverbs are useable. Marshall has done sufficient software updates to correct early issues (bluetooth, tones, bugs). Can be used at bedroom volume with Master on ‘1’. Optional footswitch gives good control. Documentation is good. Updater software on PC works well.

CONS: Other than those mentioned above, all the other amps and effects are bad. This includes the JCM800, JVM and Silver Jubilee. All the cabs are bad. None of the stock patches are usable. You have to make your own. There are user uploaded patches you can try but very few are usable. Learning curve is significant. The amp is too loud. When you turn up from bedroom level to louder, the sounds change and become very boomy which should not happen with a modeling amp. No effects loop. The ‘out’ is a mini USB. Connecting to a computer requires a mini USB to USB or Lightning cable, which is not included. I tried to use the USB to record to Garageband and sound came out but I couldn’t make it sound good. The footswitch also has a learning curve, and like other people I had to have mine replaced. 

ADVICE: Don’t buy it. I bought my Code 50 new from Sweetwater for $299 and now the same version of the amp is $399. If you must have a Code, get the 25 instead. It is cheaper and still absurdly loud. The higher volume available in the 50 is useless because it sounds bad. The extra hundred bucks just gets you painfully loud solid state power amp watts. 

If you do get a Code, upgrade all the firmware immediately. You need to connect to a computer to do this, but first you have to find the cable on Amazon. This is unforgivable.

BOTTOM LINE: I have spent too many hours tweaking the Code. This is what I hated about Line 6. But the Line 6 tones were superior. I never got a good JCM 800 sound out of the Code, after hundreds of hours of work. It’s only “great” amp sim, oddly, is the American OD. Marshall’s own Classic Metal patch uses this, not a “Marshall” sim! The Code is marketed as Marshall technology with amp sims created by Marshall, but it is not. Softube created the software and tones. This is not a Marshall amp. Line 6 Marshall sims are far better.

I have now bought a tube amp. I am keeping the Code because I have mastered it and can practice on it but I would not buy it again, certainly not for $399.

I recently purchased a code 25 marshall amp and can't figure out which USB is the correct kind for the amp. I want to be able to connect my amp to my laptop so I can record music.

Recently updated the firmware for my code 50 and it stopped short of complete firmware installation when I received a pop-up to restart the installation. The amp is stuck at ready to update but now the firmware won't install again. Tried a factory reset but now the amp will say USB not connected...until I reconnect....then it will read... ready for update. Which won't update anymore or resume where it left off. Can I get the original firmware or another way to factory reset? Buttons will not activate anything anymore.
