Hi all! I'm a very pleased user of a CODE 100 combo. I'ts a quite wonderful tool for those that cannot achieve a Boutique or Vintage tool.
Until this time I used it at home mostly with Headphones, due it's power is very high to set it for speaker use.
But this weekend we had an oportunity to use it on a live presentation. That day the amp showed some problems using the speakers: In the middle of the presentation it suddenly lost volume, staying turned on. Obviously it was a very unconfortable situation, and my only reaction was to turn it off and on after a few minutes. This failure happened at least 5 times.
There are many supositions I made about this issue, before sending the amp to my dealer:
1) The voltage mains was under very high fluctuation values.
2) Firmware glitch
3) Broken Master Volume pot
I'll check the amp and see if this problem is still happening. Do you have any other diagnosis/solution to tell me? I'm very worried about this problem
Thanks in advance to all,
Matías
Hi! I'm in the process of restore an empty 1x15 cabinet from 1973, model #2054! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to use it as guitar cab or a bass cab. If I decide for the Bass cabinet, due to its internal measures and specifications, what speaker do Marshall sugest?? I don't know if Back then The company's were preoccupied once studying the dimensions of the cabinets and eventual ports/reflexs versus speakers best performances .. but if so, what is the optimal bass speaker for this cabinet?
Im going to try attach a photo of the refered model :)
check photo here:
Any help is much appreciated!
thanks in advanced!
Does anyone know how I can get a user's manual for an old AS50R? I'm not having luck going to the commercial manual website services and I can't find anything on Marshall's own website. Thanks.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve that “Bridge Of Sighs” tone? I’m using the Code 50. Thanks.
i want to know if there is a way to use a second cabinet with my 100h head and 4X12 cabinet so i can have a full stack vs. a half stack?
I love my Code 50 amp but lately, it's having a problem where there is no sound coming out of the amp after a couple minutes of turning it on. The only way to fix the problem is to turn it off and on. However, this only fixes it for a couple minutes. I've already instaled the latest firmware.
Howdy,
I've just bought a CODE100 - what a beast! I haven't moved on from playing with the existing presets yet, but I'm starting to think about how I'm gonna manage them when I do start building my own.
First of all, a mini-rant. I can't believe Marshall gave us 100 existing presets, but force us to overwrite those if we want to save our own. It's 2018, surely they can afford the few K it would take for an additional 100 presets? In fact, I'd be happy with a bank of 20 user-preset spaces! I owned a Zoom pedal board 20 years ago that was better than that!
So in an ideal world, I want to retain as many of those presets as I can, but make some room for maybe 10 of my own. I've already identified a couple I can lose (Virus and Nightmare). However, I don't want to have my new presets scattered about as I replace odd ones, I want them all together, ideally in slots 00-09.
So what's the easiest was to shuffle the rest of the presets around to make space in the first 10 slots. And also, what other strategies have people employed for organising their library?
Thanks,
Anthony
I cannot understand how to use my external effects with the Code 4 100 watt head...the owner's manual is worthless...and I cannot find any YouTube videos explaining this...does ANYBODY understand how to use external rack effects with this head? Thanks.
I guess with Marshall being a small company without much expertise in building amps, this should be expected. Maybe once they've been around a while and get the hang of building amps then they'll be able to release products that work as advertised and that they are also able to maintain and provide support for.
Hang in there Marshall, you'll be a good amp company someday!
Hoswit,
Loving my code 100h, surely marshall will be creating more stomp boxes in future, can code users expect updates to the fx chain?
Not a question, just a general observation for discussion.
I've heard a lot of people saying they can only use a CODE 25 for home use with the master volume set at 2 or 3 .
The amp sounds much better with the master volume at 8 and the guitar volume set very low (using a Les Paul).
The amp sounds much fuller and more responsive.
After I power off the CODE 25 and power it on again, it doesn't start Bluetooth connection automatically (there's no blue light) and I have to press 'rev+power' and perform pairing every time. It looks like the amp just doesn't store bluetooth connection configuration?
So for every guitar session I have to start bluetooth manually and re-pair the device which is not convenient.
Could you please give a possibility to downgrade the firmware? I've read that bluetooth auto-connection was working fine on previous version.
Regards,
ilya
Hi I have had this Marshall Code 100 for a few weeks now, mucking around with it to try and figure it out and finding it to be a little user unfriendly. What I want to do is to change a single preset to what it was originally (eg factory setting) without doing a factory reset and losing all my other changed presets. I cannot find any joy anywhere about this. Also, when I look at the list of 100 presets online (there are a few lists going around in chat forums and also in the gateway section of this website) I can only ever find the 100 presets that are on the phone gateway app and not the list that was originally on the amp (for example on my amp when I factory reset it, 00 is JTM Chill, 01 is "So American" etc, whereas my gateway library has 00 as EL34 Heaven and 01 as Plexi Classic). So I cannot find the actual standard amp preset list anywhere online or within the Gateway app.
My questions boil down to three:
1. How do I restore an individual preset to what it originally was (without performing a factory reset)?
2. How do I even know what the original preset was called?
3. Say I connect my smartphone to the amp via gateway and bluetooth. If you click on the arrow on the right hand side of one of the presets in the library, it takes you to another screen. In that screen it has an amp section and a library section, with 2 small boxes you can tick next to each. What is the purpose of this screen and ticking the boxes? Like what can you actually change on this screen is it just the name of the preset or can you replace a preset that is on the amp with one that is in the gateway library?
Needless to say I am very confused and was hoping to be way ahead by this stage. Please help!
Hi!
Can I record sound connecting my Ubuntu Linux 18.04 via USB cable?
I think the Ubuntu does not recognize Marshall Code 25 as a recording device. I tried without success. Can you help, please?

Does anybody know when Code firmware update is expected to be released?
Current version causes serious issues with Bluetooth reconnecion after the amp is swiched off. Also Master Volume does not work evenly and my CODE 25 is definitely too loud for practising at home.
Bought a CODE 50 two weeks ago and LOVE the tones - great reproductions! But I have the hissing problem as well. Quite noticeable as a chord or note decays. At first, thought it was normal 60-cycle single coil pickup hum, but it is not.
Read similar Posts on the Forum, so tried the firmware update and it did not help. Noise gate not really an effective alternative, either.
Team Marshall, any other solutions in the work Again, otherwise I love the amp and want to keep it.
Thanks.
Hello guys, i own a marshall code 25 since last summer and about one week now as i play the sound dies sudenly. The amp seems to work all the knobs,the footswitch but no sound at all. The sound comes back when i restart it but after 5-10 minutes of playing same thing happens. I have installed the latest firmware. Does anyone else has the same problem? Any advices would be pretty much apriciated. I bought the amp from andertons, i sent them an email like 3 days ago but no answer yet. Is there any warranty?
I want to buy a Marshall AS100D acoustic amp from an authorized dealer. I can not find anyone that has one in stock other than Amazon. Its listed for $724 an odd price and different than any other price I find, which is usually $699. My concern is Amazons listing states: "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com". If I buy this amp from Amazon and in the warranty peroid need to have it repaired will the warranty be honored by Marshall and Marshall Service Centers in USA?
Thanks,
Ricky H.
