On my Code-25 I had a setting I liked to use - preset 7 - Volcano, but now it's different (maybe changed after a firmware update?)

Does anyone know what the manual settings are to emulate Volcano (previous pre-set 7)?

Where can I find a schematic for a DSL 40C? I have an open short somewhere in the power circuit.

How to turn off the noise gate on the pre sets?

I tested the instrument cable with my cable tester and it passed.  HOWEVER, the cable I learned is actually defective.  I used a different cable.  The point is try using a different instrument cable even if your cable tester recognizes one as being okay.

Ever since I connected a USB cable between my CODE 50 and set up this account I cannot get sound to come out of the speakers. My amp is all but dead.  HOW do I reboot or reset my amp to make sound come out of the speakers when I jack my guitar into it; turn the unit on; slowly raise the Volume GAIN and Master volume and hope to play something?

Does anyone know?  Thank you for your time.

All,

I have seen this a lot but just wanted your feedback.

The great amps that I have played through, such as Mesa Boogie, Carvin, Catagory 5, etc, are awesome

but they never seem to have enough gain or sustain.

Is it cool to use an ODC Fulltone or a Tube Screamer in front of a Dirty Rhythm, or Lead channel?

If so, what kind of set up's do you use?

TIA,

Jerome

Hi everyone,

I getting ready to utilize an old Valvestate VS100 Combo. I need a foot switch that will allow me to utilize the three distinct channels on the amp.

Clean, OD1, and then Lead or OD2. Which switch can I use.

Thanks in advance.

hello, my bi chorus 200 seems to go quiet while playing, in both channels. The sound becomes weak and distant and sometimes almost goes altogether. Then the next time it might work fine for a while but always goes eventually. It’s a mid 90’s amp. I think it is powerful amp and I hope I can fix it. Anyone know what could be wrong?

Whenever I turn my amp on it just buzzes, and doesn’t pick up the guitar at all. It’s not the guitar because it still does it unplugged from both guitars I tried. Tried different outlets too. Can anyone help?

I'm wondering what year this DSL 15 h is I'm about to purchase V01002A30U. Thanks for any help, I'm so excited to own my first all tube Marshall weather it this one or a brand new one

Hello, I need advice. How and where do I register Amplifier Code 100?  You can register footswitch PEDL 91009, PEDL-10025 GV-2 Guv'nor plus, PEDL-10026 BB2 Bluesbreaker, Headphones MONITOR ?  I live in the Czech Republic, where I bought the goods in e-shop muziker.cz.

Amplifier in combination with PEDL 91009 is really supreme . I have a month and I play all the time, much better than FENDER.

For my use bad Windows software. I'm using CODE Patch Editor, there's a lot of options and there's nothing extra. Is there any other code software? Where I can edit and create new presets, play Backing Tracks. Similar Fender FUSE. I would like to buy it :-)                                                        

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Regards, Michal :-)
                                                                                                                                           

                                                      !!!!!!! MARSHALL FOREVER!!!!!!!!

I phone 6 user here, latest software installed. Latest firmware installed in the CODE 50 as well. I can connect the amp and my phone via Bluetooth, but the Gateway app doesn’t even acknowledge my code to connect with it. I have tried everything I have seen in these forums from un-installing to re-installing to restarting, turning off and on. I really like this amp but this is pretty frustrating, it worked when I first got it but for some reason not anymore. Any fixes for this? 

Putting two old Super PA's and one old Super Lead (or Bass, hard to say) back in service.  None have any parts, so this is more a labor of love than anything.  Anybody know where I could source the following?

100 Watt Super PA #20975 - has the back panel, no front panel.  Would prefer a plexi front panel, undrilled, but would be fine with a metal panel.

50 Watt Super PA #10210. - has the back panel, no front panel. Would prefer a plexi front panel, undrilled, but would be fine with a metal panel.

70's era Super - Unsure whether a Lead or Bass. Has the front panel, but no back panel.  Would prefer a metal back panel, undrilled if possible. 

Note: Over the years I was able to find two JTM100 plexi Super PA front panels, but sadly they won't work for my projects.  I think they were both from amps around 1965 or 1966 (the ones with the creme back panels), because they have the Mark IV on the front as well as the JTM 100. The holes are completely different than what are on my two Super PAs that have gold back panels.  Mine were probably produced somewhere between 1967 and 1969; perhaps the front panel drilling was standardized by then (I heard a rumor that front panels were hand drilled early on).

I down loaded the new update to my code 50 amp from my computer,  display on the amp reads  Ready for Update what do I do now?

Hello, 

i switch through my presets with  the Marshall PEDL-91009, however, this pedalboard only has 3 switches and a bank switch, however i would like to have a pedalboard with more than 3 preset switch button for faster recall ... is there a solution (maybe via MIDI) , or a compatible footswitch that i am unaware of? 

Hello everyone,

is it possible to deactivate that notification sound, that signal going into stand by on the Acton?

Hello everyone,

my Acton shows a latency when connected via  Bluetooth to my Laptop. Youtube Videos arent lip-sync anymore.

My Killburn does not have this problem.

What can I do, if there is something that I can do and not Marshall?

I had been getting this strange, horrible sound out of my Marshall JVM 410c while it was warming up on standby, and I thought maybe it was picking up a random signal from somewhere...(I live in a beehive of an apartment complex)...Anyway, today, I decided I would record the sounds on my iPad so I could get some professional help. After I turned the amp on, about 30seconds in, it started that noise again...after about another minute, I took the amp off standby...I had it on OD1 orange mode, when all of a sudden, I saw a flash of light from the back of the amp...and BAM! It scared the crap out of me! What happened! Did I blow a transformer or a fuse or something??? I was heartbroken! I know something is seriously wrong with my amp. It won't sound a note. It's completely silent....What happened? What did I do? Please help! I paid too many pennies for this amp to go out like this! BooHoo! Thanks, all! Any advice, opinions, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I love this amp but it needs help!!!

 hello,

I’m having problem with my CODE25 amp knobs( bass, treble, volume, gain, middle) like whenever i change bass , treble or anyother knobs changes by itself by 0.1-0.2 . And while changing one  knob, another knob presets values flickers in between. 

I want to know if anyone else having the same issue or there is problem with my amp or its a firmware glitch..

please help me...
