I am having problems with the new firmware on my code 25 and gateway app on an iPhone. It used to work fine but now gateway is not connecting to the amp.
Dear Marshall team:
I use the Code 25 amplifier, with the Gateway app and the Code series footswitch. The firmware is updated with the latest version available.
For a long time I have been noticing certain problems, mainly:
-The preset settings are changed on their own (sometimes the volume, other times the gain...) They are usually changed to the settings on the control knobs. I load the preset again, and after a while some of the settings are changed again.
-Another problem is that after using a preset for a while, when changing to another it does not change (it stays blocked). It does not respond either by using the pedal or by changing the preset from the app I have to turn off the amp. At first I thought it would be a Bluetooth problem, since I was using the Gateway application, with an iPhone. But now I'm using it with an Android phone and I continue to have the same problems.
Waiting for your comments, receive a cordial greeting.
Eduardo,
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.
Hi, I had a marshall code, dsl 1w, 15w and 40w. I liked of 1w, much loud! I sold all and I have been used a app amplitube with iphone and ipad + irig nano amp, but I figure out in the worst way about update versions, It just stops working after the update. A nice day, and you cant play anymore on analogic gear.
Now Id like a all in gear and the better for me now its the Code 25. Even without the app I can handle the amp manually. Although, be convenient.
Whats the current version suportted for code today? My IPAD 9th is 16.5, IPHONE 7 is 13. Is it works?
thanks.
After selecting a Preset, and after playing a song when I go back to the Gateway app I see a message saying, "Amp Disconnected, Connection with your CODE amp has been lost. Please check your amp and try to connect again." When I select "OK" it reconnects then I can select a preset. This seems like a new"bug" since the Gateway app has been updated to the current version. My iPhone is on a stand close to my CODE 50 the entire time. (about 1 or 2 feet at most).
Please advise. Thanks!
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.4.1
Firmware: 01 Sep 2022 - v1.47
CODE 50
This actually is a cluster of a few questions that are closely related.
To be able to carry adapted presets with you, you need to save them tot 'Device', the second Icon from the left.
However to link a preset to a position on the Footswitch it needs to be saved to the Amp, the most left Icon when saving.
Most of the time I actually want both, have them in my device and also in the Amp, because of the footswitch.
I have nog found an easy way to do that, both on a one by one and a 'all presets' basis. Anybody?
Because you need the presets in the Amp to link to the Footswitch, every now and then I would like to return the Amp to the original Factory presets.
There are clear instruction how to do that, but when I do, I do not get the Original Marshall Code Factory Settings, but basically what is in my 'MyMarshall'.
I seem not to be able to go back to the presets that were in the Code when I first bought it.
Is there a way to do that, or what is the logic behind it?
It is convenient to take my presets to another Code and use mine, but in a gig, they need to be linked to the footswitch.
So how to deal with that?
Thanks for anyones help!

Quelqu'un pourrait il m'aider s'il vous plaît je n'arrive pas à connecter mon ampli code 50 sur l'application Marshall gateway il me met ce message: CONNECTION REJECTED You may only control amps you are already connected to for audio output.
Je précise je suis sur iPhone 13 dernière version d'iOS. Le téléphone lui se connecte sans problème à l'ampli je peux joué de la musique mais c'est tout
j'ai au préalablement supprimer et réinstallé l'application gateway, reset l'ampli, mis à jour le firmware de l'ampli, déconnecté l'ampli du téléphone et oublier l'appareil Bluetooth, essayer sur un autre iPhone (7)... bref je suis perdu du coup je ne peut en aucun cas faire mes préset depuis mon téléphone et c'est frustrant enfin bref si quelqu'un a une solution miracle je suis preneur et merci d'avance 👌💪
I recently updated my 5th gen Ipad to an Ipad Air 4 and can no longer use the Code app. I receive the following error when opening the app and can do nothing except close it - "Context3d not available! Possible reasons: Wrong renderMode or missing device support"
With no app support available, this amp is dead weight in the studio.
i have removed the app, restarted ipad, reinstalled it, and end up at the same error every time. Is the Ipad Air 4 supported at all? IOS version is 15.4.1
This issue is driving me crazy. My Code 50 used to work with my iphone and ipad, now it refuses to connect and I always get the above message.
I have performed the following:
1. Forgot bluetooth connection on both devices
2. Deleted iphone app and re-installed.
3. Re-paired and tried to connect with same issues,
4. Formed factor preset of amp with no luck.
I know the blueotth connects as I can play music through my amp from phone, I just cannot connect to update any presets.
Any solutions would be greatfully received, am getting so frustrated with this product.
I just bought the code 25, and only had it for a few days. It was great on my iPad for effects via bluetooth, although after I updated the firware it wont connect to thre app on my ipad anymore, it plays songs from my itunes app but the Gateway app says Im already connected and nothing works to adjust the affects. Im really bummed about this, any word on why this is happening and how to fix it?.
Hy folks!!.
I just bought a marshall code 25, and when installing the marshall gateway app on mu iphone 12 (ios 14.8.1), and open app i get the following error: "context3D not available! Possible reason: wrongrendermode or missing devicr suport. " and it does not work. What I can do?
Hi there, just purchaced a Code 50, installed the Gateway app for iPad. All working a treat, eccept that if I am connected to the Amp via bluetooth, I am getting all the keypad sounds through the amp, also incoming messages, email notifications and phone calls. is there a way of stopping this????
Hello. I recently bout the CODE 50 and it's great, but the gateway is pretty much useless for me. I have tried pretty much everything and it still will not connect to my iPhone 11 pro max. I have had friends try the app and it works fine on their phone, but when it comes to mine, nothing! Really love the amp and would like the bluetooth to work from my phone so i can adjust with ease. Not the end of the world, but it is advertised that you can control everything from your phone so that's what i would like to do. Any solutions? Thanks.
Update to below- The iPhone 11 IOS 15.02 update fixed my issues. The app is working properly now & I'm very happy.
____________________________________________________I had a fault code & couldn't connect Gateway to my Code 50 a few months ago when I purchased it. I tried deleting the app to reload but when I reloaded, it was only accessible via the App Store & wouldn't appear on my Home Screen. I could connect for awhile. Recently it seems since the IOS 15 update to my phone, it no longer connects manually or automatically to my Code 50. The app is useless to me. I've search for an alternate app from another source that is compatible with the Code 50 but there doesn't appear to be one. The Gateway app and Bluetooth connectivity heavily influenced my purchase decision. If I had known the app was useless and I would have to physically go to the amp and try to dial in each sound, I would have just bought a fender. I really feel you should take my amp back if you can't correct the problem.
While using the Marshall Gateway App on my iPhone 7 or SE (I'm assuming this happens on other iPhone models as well), the "Playback" page automatically defaults to "Apple Music" when I want to add tracks to jam to with my Code 50 amplifier.
My question for Marshall Support is: Can you make the iPhone Gateway App allow selections of tracks from locations other than "Apple Music" on the "Playback" page?
It would be great to be able to select tracks from my other files like "One Drive" or "Files". Your competitors like the Boss GT-1 and the Spark 40 allow tracks to be added from ANY location when using their jam-along features. Limiting your choice to "Apple Music" really limits the jam-along experience on your app.
Thank you for considering making this useful update to your iPhone app.
My new Code 50 Amp won't connect to my iPad. They are paired via Bluetooth, and Gateway detects the amp. When it tries to connect, it perpetually displays 'Connecting........'
What am I missing?
Hey Fellow Marshall Code enthusiast...As most of you are. I like to use all the features of my equipment hence the Marshall gateway. The short is after months of not getting it to connect to my iPhone I thought let me try the Gateway on my iPad Mini 2?? Aha it works...So the iPad is using iOS 12.5.2 and my iPhone uses iOS 14.4.2. I always keep any of my software up to date with rare exceptions..So it seems the problem is with the Gateway and the newer iOS? So maybe the gateway needs to be updated to work with the latest iOS? Hope this helps?
Hiya, I have the Code 25 Amp and have for the last couple of years. I have recently updated my phone to an Iphone 12 pro.
The Gateway App has installed on my phone. My setting are saying the Code 25 is connected via bluetooth, but the Code 25 and the Gateway App are not connecting.
I have removed the Gateway App from my phone and re-installed it as advised and have re-connected the Bluetooth from the phone to the Amp once again as advised.
I try to scan for the amp but it will not connect via the bluetooth.
Can you please help with a solution.
Thank you.

I have had a chance to spend a few days with the Marshall code 25 and I would like to share with you a few of my findings. I have played guitar professionally for over 30 years and have had all makes and models of guitars and amps in my time, but in general I would have killed for the equipment available to guitarist today.
This is the point where I look at the Code 25 and think “that looks like fun”. I have a few amps kicking about already, mostly gigging volume amps but I also have a Blackstar ID-Core 40, so this would be in reality what I would compare the Code 25 against.
Firstly my experience with the amp and a look around these forums makes one thing apparent. This amp is well named because it is a bit of an enigma.Out of the box I would consider the amplifier not fit for purpose this is really down to a few reasons.
Firstly, some of the presets are just absolutely terrible, I mean some of the worst patches I’ve ever heard on anything, “Small combo” and the “Brit” overdrive amps for instance are shockingly bad. You can make the excuse that all amp and effects units come with bad presets. However this is usually down to strange or weird effects to give bizarre sounds to show off effects but that nobody would ever use in a musical context. However some patches (such as Small Combo) are just basic amp modelling with no effects and are still absolutely terrible. Maybe these sound better on the 50 or 100, but if that’s the case remove them from the 25 it just gives a bad impression.
Secondly, the amp is stupidly loud. I don’t know if this is a marketing decision, but Marshall should look at its target demographic. This thing is a small bedroom practice amp, maybe at a push for some very small live situations, but that is it. Why make the thing so loud? If you need to use this amp near anything over half volume you have bought the wrong amp it’s as simple as that.
Thirdly, some of the modelling is not all it could be with digital artefacts (in the low end in particular), and a fizzy noise gate that for some reason is on patches where there is absolutely no need to have it as the patch is pretty quiet. Once again this is not a professional gigging or recording product and it should be judgged accordingly.
The last bad point I would say against this amp is the tuner, both onboard and on the app are two of the least responsive and wildly inaccurate tuners I have ever seen. Really not even close to tune! Put this down to another marketing tick box.
OK, now the good points.
It seems pretty well made and solid for what it is.
I like the size and weight, ideal for a bedroom practice amp.
I like the complete range of controls on the amp, and how you can do everything on the amp that you can do on the app, and it’s easy to do. Great user interface design work.
I like the Bluetooth features and the app. I know people have had problems with Bluetooth, but both my IOS and Android phones connected right away and are stable. I can stream music no problem from outside the house or in other rooms with no issues.
I like having 100 presets to store all the patches I could want (My Blackstar only had 6, and you can only have 1 for each model).
The headphone socket sounds OK, but if I wanted that as a primary feature I would have just bought headphone amp with effects.
I don’t use the recording over USB feature. If I did I wouldn’t expect something this cheap to be amazing. Once again if you want this you probably have bought the wrong product, and are in the wrong price bracket.
I like the cost, its amazing what it does for the money.
I like the sounds, now that I’ve got rid of the awful ones.
It looks pretty cool.
It’s a Marshall.
To make this amp useable, I basically had to do the following:
Overall I like the amp and doing just these 2 thing make it much more of a pleasure to use. The volume level are more what they should be for a product of this type and I don’t ever hear any of the awful patches (there are plenty of good ones).
Maybe other people can share their first experiences or tips with the Code 25?
