I purchased an AS50D amp a while ago, and while I've otherwise been extremely happy with it, when it arrived the caps fell off many of the knobs, which is obviously annoying since I can't see what the current settings are.
I contacted the (Swiss, German-speaking) vendor, who contacted Marshall, and they shipped me a baggy of replacement knobs.
Naively it appears that I should be able to pull the old knobs off and push these on (as I see no evidence of a set-screw anywhere). However, applying reasonable force with my hand or even prying with a screwdriver, I can't get the old knobs to come off. I don't want to risk applying a large force until I'm more confident that I'm following the correct procedure and won't break anything.
So, my questions are
- are these in fact the correct replacement knobs?
- what is the recommended procedure to replace the knobs?
- if I am supposed to simply pull the old knobs off, should I expect to apply a lot of force?
- if not and these are the correct knobs, what is the recommended procedure to replace the knobs?
Hello (again).
Not that I use the Gateway App. much but I'd still like to make a suggestion (below). There's usually a fair number of posts where people say they cannot save or transfer to or from the amp. (don't understand how to do it) and maybe this would make things a bit easier.
That little "Save" button / icon only appears if you make change to a preset. So if you just want to copy a single preset to or from the amp. then you have to make a change, change the change back to original (if that makes sense), and then hit the little "Save" button / icon that has now appeared. Suggestion: make the little "Save" button / icon PERMANENTLY visible in the app. This way you can then simply call up a preset (from amp. or Marshall Gateway), toggle at will, and simply save to your selected or preferred destination.

Dale.
I own a Code100 2x12 combo, and after a couple of months of use I am now dealing with some very noticeable fuzz and crackling. It does not matter what volume I am at...
Things that I have tried...
*Firmware update
*Using a distortion pedal and changing my preamp to clean as well as acoustic.
*Performing a factory reset
As you can imagine I am pretty frustrated... Has anyone else dealt with this issue? If so...what is the solution, please and thank you...
Yeh. I'll bet the title of THIS post caught the attention of a few folks!!! LOL!!! Sorry. It's not an effects loop as you would know it!!!
As you all know: there's no effects loop on the CODE 25 and CODE50. I've not found this to be an issue but I would like to try and hook up an equalizer (Boss GE-7) to try out. I've have tried putting the pedal in the front but with high gain amps. like the JCM800 the noise levels lift WAY too much especially if you're using PRE FX like distortion (and REVERB and DELAY make the situation worse). In addition to this there are certain pedals that just should be in an effects loop and not in front e.g. TC Electronic's MIMIQ.
So here's my plan (which requires two amps.) (and which is the reason I said "it's not an effects loop as you would know it!!!" above):
1 - Guitar straight into amp. 1 (say a CODE 25).
2 - On amp. 1: ONLY PRE FX and PRE AMP are turned ON i.e. everything else is turned OFF.
3 - From amp. 1: take the LINE OUT (HEADPHONE) to a REAMP box (this to reduce the output level from amp. 1 from a line level signal back to an instrument level signal) (and this so as not to blow up your pedals or second amp.).
4 - From the REAMP box: to pedal (or pedals i.e. however many you want in your "loop").
5 - From pedals: into amp. 2 (another CODE 25 for example) and on amp. 2 PRE FX and PRE AMP are turned OFF and everything else is turned ON.
Can anybody think of any reason why this would NOT work???
It IS INDEED an effects loop i.e. your effects are now sitting between the ouput stage of a PRE AMP (amp.1) and the input stage of a POWER AMP (amp. 2) which is indeed a normal effects loop as we all know it (this just being a very long winded way of accomplishing the same thing).
Yeh. I know. I could just try it but I'd rather get some outside input before I go blasting my amps. because there's something I've not thought of here. Oh and don't worry: I won't hold anybody responsible if things go wrong!!! LOL!!! Oh and don't worry Marshall i.e. if memory serves me correctly all but one of my amps. are out of warranty!!! LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
P.S.
If Marshall would be so kind and forthcoming so as to give us a clue as to where the effects loops connections are on the CODE 100/100H??? I've a feeling that a "proper" effects loop could very easily be "installed" on a CODE 25 / CODE 50 IF you know where to splice into the internal connections!!! I say this because bear in mind that ALL of the CODE range use the same firmware and the front panels on the CODE 50 and CODE 100/100H are pretty much identical. And I also believe there is already a clue in the sense that on the CODE 100/100H: the LINE OUT (HEADPHONE) socket disables the effects loop. Hmmmnnn... Unfortunately I don't have access to a CODE 100/100H (at least not the type of access that will allow me near one with a screwdriver in hand!!! LOL!!!).
When I download presets from the My Marshall website, how can I then transfer/import them to either the Gateway on my iPad, or to the Code 25 amp itself?
I can control the amp from the iPad, but it will only let me use the 99 presets already loaded.
Does Marshall have a customer service number? Problems with a code 50 amp cutting out..been doing it since a week after i couldn't return it.
please help me! i've tried asio4all spend hours to try but always that anoying latency
Looking for a tone close to guitar in No Doubt "Im Just a Girl". Any ideas.
I have a Marshall MG15 FX amp. The Volume potentiometer is defective. Which potentiometer to buy for subsitituition?
Thanks A Lot
Is there any news of a new preset package getting released by Marshall. Surely someone around the office tinkers with the code amps and has some nice usable patches to release :)
The 02 Slapback is not functioning. When I chosen, I must turn guitar volume to maximum and you can barely hear it. This is the only preset that has this issue. Please help! My Code 50 is less than a year old.

I've connected my Code Head 100 to my computer but it wont let me play through Ableton?
The video on my Marshall website seems easy enough to follow but it just won't work!
The CODE 100 isn’t have a line out ????
I see just Send/Return, the out 8Ω and the F/C I believe only to footswitch..
I have noticed that when playing my amp at low volumes, the volume starts to drop out. I thought it was a temperature thing as it started in june when it was really hot. but it is still doing it.
Most noticeable on OD1 and 2.
thanks

Cheers
Is there a available dust cover for a Marshall Origin 50H head?
Is there a available dust cover for a Marshall Origin 50H head?
Hey, I have a Marshall JCM 900 HI Gain Dual Reverb and I want to find out the date it was made, I dont really have any reason just for funs sake but i cant understand how it works. All sites I've visited has said that it should be a sticker with a barcode but i cant find any, all I find is what I think is the serial number, the numbers are "Y41720" so if anyone know what that says or have any tips on where to find the real serial number if that isn't please let know thanks! P.s my cameras broke so I cant post any pictures but if you really need I can solve it!
MY CODE 50 SEEMS TO CRASH EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WHEN IM PLAYING IT. ITLL PLAY FINE FOR ABOUT 30 MIN OR SO AND GIVE ME THIS DIGITAL FEEDBACK AND THEN JUST CRASH AND MAKE THIS BAD STATIC SOUND. I HAVENT UPDATED IT YET BUT DIDNT THINK I WOULD NEED TO BEING THERE FAIRLY NEW SO WHAT SHOULD I DO BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING VERY ANOYING
AND ALSO IVE NOTICED THAT IT GIVES ME THIS FUZZY FEEDBACK WHEN ANY OF THE PEDALS OR EQ IS ON ( DELAY, DISTORTION, SUSTAIN EXC ) BUT JUST PLAYING THREW A CLEAN CHANNEL OR AN OVERDRIVE CHANNEL WITH NO DISTORTION PEDAL IT WORKS FINE NO FEEDBACK OR ANYTHING
