I've had my CODE since the release days, and haven't really used the speakers at all until now since I lived in an apartment until now, so only used it for recording through the USB port before.

Now that I've been playing it for real for a couple of weeks, I've noticed something worrying. Even at the lowest volume the amp produces a terribly sharp frequency that is seriously hurting my ears. I've tried literally every stock preset and there's no difference, it's completely static. I've tried adjusting the gate,presence and every possible setting without any difference. So I suspect(actually hope) that something is broken and that it's just not the nature/sound of the amp, cause that would not make for a very usable amp. 

I can crank my other amps without this issue, so it's not my ears that are broken. I've been speculating about the speakers being so unused that they need to loose up with time, but that is just wishful thinking perhaps?

I was hoping someone else could relate to this and have experienced the same thing, and possibly a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Promises, promises ... "we'll fix it soon";  " bluetooth issues will be addressed in future firmware updates";  " USB recording issues will be looked into"; AND, a 2-way footswitch will be available for Code 25/50 users when Code 100 is released.  Am I alone in my disappointment for Marshall's seemingly apathetic (non) responses to purchasers of their "not ready for prime time" digital products?!?!?!   I really wanted a Marshall Amp after 45 years as a Fender user.  My mistake.  I should have known better.  Useless, unsupported, glitched, buggy, unreliable, etc., etc., etc.    What say you Marshall in an attempt to save any reputation you thought you had?!?!?!?

It's hard to stay connected with my phone , sometimes during changing the presets  the connection is lost . And it's symply impossible to reconnect .

Is there already an update / sollution ??

Is anyone else unable to save settings on the My Gateway page on this site?

When I change preset positions on that page and hit Save, nothing happens.  You can cancel and the page will reload, but Save does nothing.  I have tried Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome and get the same results.  It hasn't worked for a couple of weeks now, and this is a feature I really used.  I like being able to move a preset's position without overwriting like the app does.

What year was it made , i bought it from Halwani Audio in Jeddah in 1990 or 1991 i think , 

Used in a semi pro band from Saudi , Oman and now UAE , 

Channel 1 still going strong

channel 2 now caused output fuses 2 , to blow ( Dirty Channel)

Never been retubed , but now its time , never really played too much.

Hello, has anyone managed to solve the problem of connection via bluetooth gateway and amplifier? Simply DO NOT EXIST the bluetooth function on this product! 

Hi All,

Im a novice player (of thirty years experience :-/) and looking at putting a song repetoire together for a band. Ive always wanted to play sweet child live and have little experience with amp settings etc. Ive recently purchased my first Marshall (A DSL40) and was wondering if anyone could advise some good settings for playing the sweet child solo's?

Thanks!

Hello, yeah just checking in to see if firmware updates are working for some cause I have had no luck at all with Win 10, or in Chrome. Downloaded update firmware and it just keeps sayin connect your amp with usb and I do? But nothing happens. I have the 25 and the 50 since they came out and it is April 2nd 2017... Just curious what is up and am I missing anything with these firmware updates? 

Alrighty Thanks Tony K. 

Hi,

I am a great fan of Stanmore. Just Love the sound ( balanced for all kinds of music and the best when compared to speakers of this kind) but I have seen lots of negative reviews of Stanmore not working after a year or so and week bluetooth on Amazon and Apple users.

I want to buy this system but troubled with bad reviews. Have you identified the issue and how do Marshall resolve it on speakers dying down after the warranty expires.

I am in Bangalore, India and would want the system to work at least 4 years to be a value for money.

I bought a Kilburn on March 4, 2017.  I have had all kinds of issues.  Bluetooyh doesn't cpnnect to my phone.  Did work for a few days.  Tried to return to Best Buy but they wouldn't take it back.  They said was issue with my phone.  Called my carrier T-Mobile and they say issue is with Kilburn.  I am getting sick and tired of going round with people on this.  I am NOW out the money I paid for this and cannot get it to work.  NEVER again would I buy one of these.  Nothing but a waste of my time.

Does the MG100HCFX Carbon Fibre Series amplifier head fitted with a cooling fan? And is the cooling fan temperature-controlled and variable-speed?

Does the cooling fan inside the MG50 Combo operate continuously, or is it a temperature-dependent variable-speed fan?

I know that in an electric guitar valve amplifier, the presence adjustment control works and operates within the power amplifier’s negative-feedback loop circuit. However, what I would like to know is: How does the presence adjustment control work and operate in the CODE series amplifiers? Does the presence adjustment control work and operate in the negative-feedback loop in the power amplifier stage of the CODE series amplifiers (after the digital signal is converted back into an analogue signal)? Or does it work and operate as an active equalisation pre-amplifier tone control ― whilst still in the digital domain of the CODE series amplifiers’ digital signal processing (DSP) circuit?

i don't have a serial number on the back of my amp. There is no sticker with it on there. Where can I find it so that I can register my amp a get the warranty?!?

Hi all

Anyone got any glam rock presets(sweet slade t rex)

just got my code 50 and im not impressed yet

Cheers guys n gals

Hi there,Back in 2000 or 2001 I bought a Jcm 2000 - 100w dsl 1960a cab...made in england I'm sure.Nowadays you can get a dslh and cab for $1200-$1799.Is the quality the same,and is the JCM2000 worth much more than that.Thats what I had in it 17 yrs ago,but haven't seen the price higher than that. some of the heads are $2500 alone now. thanks and please help clear me up on this .

Dear Marshall Team,

I have just recently got my code and thanks for this really nice amp. I got world class sounds for this low price and again.. thanks.

Gateway really makes me much happier and  I plan to bring it up to stage for small ocassion, without footswitch (not available in my country), with the help of gateway and no need to bring those heavy gears. But I realize that I can not switch from one to another setup in a short time while playing.

So in getaway, I would suggest to add one tab showing 4 buttons which is, in individual mode, bassically on off switch for prefx, mod, delay, and power. And other 2 buttons for bank up and bank down. 

So, if we have 100 preset then it can be grouped and stored into 25banks with four variation that can be selected from those 4 buttons.

Just like the layout of multi effect processor.

Emm... need a switch to select individual or bank mode... and square bright yellow and red lamps for each button.

Emm... and display to show the active bank and sub bank... like 24.2 (bank no.24 patch no.2).

Sorry if it sounds like asking too much.

Did I?

Cheers,

Javen

settings-bluetooth-says connected.  Gateway-menu says not connected.  3 hours of chasing this around in a circle.  I'm not impressed.  Some instructions please.

Hello everyone,

I just recently got a nice Code 25. And I am trying to record the sound through USB with Sonar Producer 8 in windows 10 OS. However, Sonar wont recognize Code. There are 3 options for audio devices in Sonar, which is MME, WDM KS and ASIO. When it switched to ASIO, Code is not shown at all, but when switched to either MME or WDM, Sonar tells me  error in the Code USB driver with 2 options, "disabled" or "use anyway". And if I choose use anyway, Code will be shown but can not be selected as input for audio channel.

Checked the support from Sonar, Marshall Code has not  listed in their support/download site.

Here is the address : www.cakewalk.com/support/hardwaresetup.

Anybody has solution for this?

Note : No problem at all for playback from windows to Code. Only problem for recording.

Any help or opinion will be appreciated.

Javen

hello these days my amp would play and the sound would go low and back to regular sound without touching the sound nobs of the amp.
