I have an Origin 20 Combo and I just bought a new set of tubes, and I was wondering if i have to take it to a technician to bias it, or even if it needs to be biased?
THANKS
Does anybody know how to do this?
Can't seem to find anywhere here in the States that sells just this - I'd settle for the inductor that blew! - Right now I just have it by-passed (the Inductor- 250uH, if it is the same as on the MG100HDFX) - For anyone who may be interested - the sympthoms that lead me to find the issue was: excessive noise when a straight 1/4" guitar cable was inserted (without a guitar attached) With a guitar straight in the noise was still present but the guitar could be heard behind the noise as if nothing was wrong... the only thing that I know prior to the issue was having the amp on and then connecting an iPad via a iRig2 to the amp - Of course, not the correct approach but it happens - TURN yer AMP OFF before plugging in any devices - once connected then turn it on as long as the inputs on the devices are turned down prior to turn it back on - this way you can roll up the volume to make sure everything is OK -
Anyway, please assist in helping me locate a replacement input Jack!
Hi,
I recently bought a Marshall DSL20HR head and a Marshall 1936 Lead 2x12 cab.
The head has a cab emulator out, so I hooked it up to my audio interface and was playing through my pc monitors. I turned up the volume and gain on the ultra gain channel and a strange buzz/noise came from the head when I would strum a chord or pick a note.
I only noticed this because I had the level on my interface low as I was just testing the cab emulator out. I have alos tested this with the head not plugged into either my interface or the cab and still get a strange noise/buzz.
As this is my first valve head I'm not sure if this is just something that happens when you turn up the volume and gain - as the amp is being pushed harder, or if there is a fault with the head and I need to take it back to the shop I purchased it from.
I will link below some video of the problem. The first video sounds worse than it is as I put my phone directly on top of the head as I play. It's not the signal noise from the amp that I am worried about, it's the rattle when I strum chords or hit notes...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm probably just over reacting, but it would be good to get some reassurance.
Thanks! \m/
I have, or should I say, HAD a Marshall CODE 50 which after 20 months of service decided to quit following a POWER SUPPLY failure. I took it to an electrical repairer for diagnosis and found out, through Marshall Australia and UK that the power supply is not replaceable because it has been suspended. No parts available. That means I now have an amp that is unfixable and never will be, even with an aftert-market power supply - which, according to Marshall cannot be retro-fitted. What a fantastic waste of money that exercise was, and I have zero warranty fall-back. Has anyone else had the same problem? Kev
Hi there,
I am considering buying a 2525H head and I was wondering if bias adjustement would be required on such low wattage EL34 power section.
I know the 'full scale' silver jubilee have a pot for bias adjustment but it seems not to be the case for the mini version.
Please confirm.
Hello,
The manual is very sparse about this. Could you please clearly outline the steps needed to safely operate Origin 20H with no speaker connected when using DI out for recording?
Is the DI out mono unbalanced or "stereo" balanced jack socket?

Hallo,
I'm going to buy a second hand Marshall DSL40C without footswitch. I realized that it is not too easy to find on the market an original footswitch (PEDL-00009). could you please tell me a list of compatible footswitch which can replace PEDL-00009 in case I don't find it?
thank you
Another quick question:
Exactly how does the Noise Gate operate??? Not quite sure how to ask this question but here goes:
Does the Gate simply suppress ANYTHING and EVERYTHING below a certain SIGNAL level (depending on the setting) or is it able to determine the frequencies of the noise and only attentuate those frequencies (again depending on the setting)???
In other words: if you set the Gate to eliminate noise when there is supposed to be silence then no problem i.e. this works fine but you can hear the noise when you start playing i.e. it lifts with your sound. But I THINK I noticed this morning that if you set the gate higher then it seems to start seperating out the noise from the actual guitar sound (although it does alter the sound to a degree but nothing major or problematic). And it doesn't seem to affect sustain i.e. if it were merely suppressing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING below a certain SIGNAL level (depending on the setting) then it stands to reason that the higher you set it the more it will chop your sustain as the note decays and it doesn't appear to be doing this.
Hope the question makes sense.
Regards,
Dale.
I'm brand new to the forum and I'm here because I have a problem. I bought my CODE 50 about a month ago -- love the amp by the way -- and it's been connected to my Android smart phone ever since I first set it up. I have the auto connect feature enabled so whenever I've been out of range, then moved back into range, it reconnects automatically.
Well, it's worked normally until this morning, when I noticed that nothing was happening when I was changing some settings using my phone. Come to discover the pairing had been lost. At first I started to retry pairing from the phone's menu, where it showed the CODE 50, but it didn't show it as being connected. When I put the amp in pairing mode, it had no effect in the app.
So I exited the app and booted the pairing function in the phone. The phone paired with the amp quickly, showing the amp's code. But when I went back into the app, now it doesn't even show the amp anymore and when I hit the scan button down in the bottom left of the screen, the app just sits there and doesn't do anything. I've tried restarting the app, but that doesn't do any good. It just comes right back to the same screen as before.
So, what now? I'm thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling the app, cuz I can't think of anything else that might work.
Hi. First just to say that a am generally very happy with the CODE50 & it is definitely filling a gap to provide great practice tones with aux input from LickLibrary & my son's vdrum set to jam along! I have a coupe of items I wanted to put out there to the forum:
So the fizz - has anyone else noticed a very high end (treble) fizz or harsh crackle to the tone on most 'unsaturated' presets? It almost sounds like a digital clipping at the high end of the spectrum to my ear. It is definitely worse when using my 2015 Gibson Les Paul Less+ (which has the brass zero fret nut) like the amp is reacting to some of the pronounced higher frequencies on this guitar but it is also noticable with other guitars using a standard nut material.
The cabinet resonance I guess is due to the relatively light weight MDF that the cab is constructed of which appears to vibrate a little too readily has the master gets to about 1.5 / 10. I have dabbled a little with the resonance / presence settings under the speaker cab which has helped control it a little but I would be interested in any other ideas for reducing that boooom that can wash out the tone. I do have a 4 ohm Celestion G12T-75 from a long broken Marshall SS 50w combo which I am thinking of trying out - it is a physically heavier speaker than the CODE one pre-installed but I don't think structurely this will be a problem for the cabinet. I would appreciate any other ideas - anyone added noise suppression foam to the inside of the cab (as used in noisy PC towers) or anything else?
Cheers all.
Hi. I have two Marshall Acton speakers in my home, which I very much like. The problem is that they both have the same name when searching for them to cnnect via bluetooth on my phone, which can cause confusion, especially if I'm in range of both of them. How can I change the naming convention that one of my Acton speakers uses so I can differentiate between them?
Has anyone else been having problems finding the amp on bluetooth? Some days my iphone 6 can find it other days it can't. I feel like marshall abandoned the code amps. Does anyone know if they will be releasing a firmware update soon?
I recently bought a marshall code 50 and I am really dissapointed. Any tips for making it sound better? I have spend ages on it trying to get a good high gain tone but it just sounds 'boxy'. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i was wanting to register my marshall code amp. ver pleased with it cheers!!! im just trying to figure out which one is the registration number as there's a few on the back . cheers

Is the speaker in the Code 25 a full range speaker and if not, will there be clipping issues streaming music into the amp while playing my guitar?
Thanks
Hi!
I have a Marshall DSL40CR and a PEDL-91016 footswitch.
(By the way, there is no manual online for the PEDL-91016 footswitch.)
Is it possible to program the footswitch for particular combinations of channel + master volume. What I would like is...
Button 1 = Classic Gain Green + Master Volume 2
Button 2 = Classic Gain Red + Master Volume 1
Button 3 = Ultra Gain Green + Master Volume 1
Button 4 = Ultra Gain Red + Master Volume 1
Button 5 = Master Volume (toggles MV 1 and MV2 ...no change to default functionality).
The context is that I want my Master Volume 1 to be "Rhythm Loudness" and Master Volume 2 to be "Lead/Solo Loudness." However the loudness for the Classic/Green channel is too low so I want to default it to "Lead/Solo Loudness" (aka Master Volume 2) for unity loudness to the other rhythm channels.
Thanks!

Hello, I would like to connect one of my PCs (OS linux) on a Marshall CODE 50 and take control via usb midi.
When I open /etc/dmmidi2 in read acces. Reading file char by char, I see information when I touch the buttons of the amp (PREFX, AMP, MOD, ...). I can find the information in CODE-Midi-Implementation-Chart-V2.1.pdf.
I usually get two or three bytes and cross it with the document.
But this frame is not in the form Start of Transmission> Header> Command> End of Transmission.
By against when I open /etc/dmmmidi2 in write access, I can not send any command.
After having turned on the amp, I sent the following sequence for RECALL PRESETS 05:
0xF0 0x00 0x21 0x15 0x7F 0x7F 0x7F 0x73 0x01 0x05 0xF7
or RECALL CURRENT SETTINGS:
0xF0 0x00 0x21 0x15 0x7F 0x7F 0x7F 0x72 0x01 0x00 0xF7
Start of Transmission> Header> Command> End of Transmission
This command does not seem to work. Is there an intermediary step?
Would it be possible to give me a typical sequence to the CODE or a document that will explain the procedure to operate (ON / OFF) one of the button (PREFX, AMP, MOD, ...) of the amp.
Thank you in advance.
Cordially.

A few of you may scoff at my quesion. But what's with the Gain, Volume and Master Volume on the code.
I can appreciate having a gain and master volume, or a volume and master volume, but why all three?
I can't seem to differentiate any discernable reason for this. Any ideas people?
Look at it this way, turn the volume up and the master down to get a more distorted sound at a lower level, but there's the gain for that? See what I mean?
I want to know how to install a firmware update in a code 50 amp? Please list the setting i need to put my amp in for this update?
