I have  Marshall Code 100 and it is ususable because the presets keep changing by themselves. Is anyone else facing this issue? 

I recently purchased a Code 25 and uploaded some presets to it. When I first select the preset it sounds great, but if I go to another one for a little bit and cycle back, the sound is completely different. What could cause this? The only thing I'll change when playing is the master volume. It typically gets very boxy with a lot of bass and lose mid/treble sound. I have to turn it off then on to get it back.

Hi all,

I have a brand new Code 50 + Footswitch - got them today.  I have saved 3 of my own presets to Bank A 1 2 3.  No problem. Also assigned the tuner to a switch.  That was all fairly straightforward.  

However, I am unable to assign any other (new) presets to any of the other banks. When I follow the exact same process I used for Bank A - The footswitch just defaults to one of the amps, stock presets (all of which sound nasty).

I've watched the tutorials. At the moment, I have only 3 presets of my making on the switch and no, apparent way, of using any of the other banks.

Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers,

Mike

my code 25 is connect to the phone whit bluethoot, but nothing happens , the preset cannot be changed .......who can help me? 

I am new to electric and got this amp from a friend. Love the external features, but hate when my phone audio is always blasting when choosing cloud presets. 

In case Marshall decides to do another round of Codes, or for people that want to buy one, here is my bottom line after dealing with this thing for a few years. I had Line 6 experience and wanted a simpler all-in-one modeling combo with a bluetooth app that could do hard rock. The Katana looked like a toy so I bought this.

PROS: Solid construction. Looks great. Good range of amps and effects. Bluetooth app is very good and can tune every parameter. Tones can be downloaded and backed up to/from Marshall site. Amp can sound very good (after a lot of tweaking). The Plexi, American OD, JTM Crunch and Acoustic amps are good. The Guv’nor, Compressor, Chorus, noise gate and all the delays and reverbs are useable. Marshall has done sufficient software updates to correct early issues (bluetooth, tones, bugs). Can be used at bedroom volume with Master on ‘1’. Optional footswitch gives good control. Documentation is good. Updater software on PC works well.

CONS: Other than those mentioned above, all the other amps and effects are bad. This includes the JCM800, JVM and Silver Jubilee. All the cabs are bad. None of the stock patches are usable. You have to make your own. There are user uploaded patches you can try but very few are usable. Learning curve is significant. The amp is too loud. When you turn up from bedroom level to louder, the sounds change and become very boomy which should not happen with a modeling amp. No effects loop. The ‘out’ is a mini USB. Connecting to a computer requires a mini USB to USB or Lightning cable, which is not included. I tried to use the USB to record to Garageband and sound came out but I couldn’t make it sound good. The footswitch also has a learning curve, and like other people I had to have mine replaced. 

ADVICE: Don’t buy it. I bought my Code 50 new from Sweetwater for $299 and now the same version of the amp is $399. If you must have a Code, get the 25 instead. It is cheaper and still absurdly loud. The higher volume available in the 50 is useless because it sounds bad. The extra hundred bucks just gets you painfully loud solid state power amp watts. 

If you do get a Code, upgrade all the firmware immediately. You need to connect to a computer to do this, but first you have to find the cable on Amazon. This is unforgivable.

BOTTOM LINE: I have spent too many hours tweaking the Code. This is what I hated about Line 6. But the Line 6 tones were superior. I never got a good JCM 800 sound out of the Code, after hundreds of hours of work. It’s only “great” amp sim, oddly, is the American OD. Marshall’s own Classic Metal patch uses this, not a “Marshall” sim! The Code is marketed as Marshall technology with amp sims created by Marshall, but it is not. Softube created the software and tones. This is not a Marshall amp. Line 6 Marshall sims are far better.

I have now bought a tube amp. I am keeping the Code because I have mastered it and can practice on it but I would not buy it again, certainly not for $399.

I'm assuming I have 100 slots on my CODE 50 for whatever presets I choose. How do I specify which numbered slot I wish to update or change with any of the presets on MyMarshall.com. Not sure if this question makes sense or if I even worded it correctly. 

I turned all of the presets off, all i want is a plain Plexi or hot rod amp. I have my own reverb and my own delay and EQ. So I took Marshall Fury Lead which sounds pretty good and turned all the other stuff off...

then when i get app. on my phone turned on it goes and overwrites the preset on the Code 100 head. ??? wtf? Now its noisey and feeding back an out of control.

I cannot risk having an amp that squeals and changes presets like that without me asking it. There are too many settings too much to go wrong. 

I am starting to regret buying this thing.

How do i fix it so that the preset stays in the cloud on the amp and everywhere else forever!.. Until i change it...Can anyone please help with that?

its a 100 watt Code. I just want it to be a dirty power amp, no cab simulator nothing...

thanks, NIck

Suddenly, Bluetooth stopped working right on my phone (Huawei P series)  while I'm playing...  Amp is updated to latest version and every time i want to change preset surprise! The phone is unpaired, it needs to reconnect again... but guess what? Now the screen on my code start blinking, not red or the buttons either, but it blinks like if loosing power or something... I don't know if it might be an electrical issue or it's just a lose cable inside that needs a check. 

I don't want to always use my phone when playing. There used to be a way to save presets directly in the amp but I can't seem to do it anymore. These past updates have really screwed up the code amp for me. It doesn't seem like any of the support videos are accurate any longer. 

When switching between presets, factory made and made by others - in the app the sound goes from low medium to max, up and down.. 

I use my amp on low in our living room, and its bad for my kids.. scary.

Also alot of fizz crackling when turning the master knob.  Common issue? Is there a fix? Sound jumping up and down.

When the sound is super loud i just touch the volume knob and it goes down in volume to where the volume knob actually is 

I am a newbie. I bought the Code 50 thinking it would be easy for it to work with pedal amps, like boss blue driver and metal zone. i did not know the code 50 did not "play" well with pedals. I even bout a noise suppressor. 

Anyways I have been googling and found out that there is a "natural" channel.  I could not figure out what that ment. I thought it was a channel I could just scroll to in the preset display. After further looking into it I fould a link to this site with instructions by a person name david doss:

?

I followed the instructions (and I downloaded gateway),  but very low sound would come out of the marshall with the guitar by itself. What I mean is low sound even when volume knob and master knob all the way up. I do get sound when I activate the blues pedal for example but mainly when I adjust the GAIN knob  ON CODE 50. The volume knob does little. Since when is GAIN the new volume button? I thought in the instructions by david doss GAIN was all the way to zero. 

Is there an easier way to connect my pedals to the amplifier? FYI I do not know the difference between amp and pre amp. I am really learning here. So please baby steps. Thanks in advance. 

This actually is a cluster of a few questions that are closely related.

To be able to carry adapted presets with you, you need to save them tot 'Device', the second Icon from the left.
However to link a preset to a position on the Footswitch it needs to be saved to the Amp, the most left Icon when saving.

Most of the time I actually want both, have them in my device and also in the Amp, because of the footswitch.
I have nog found an easy way to do that, both on a one by one and a 'all presets' basis. Anybody?

Because you need the presets in the Amp to link to the Footswitch, every now and then I would like to return the Amp to the original Factory presets.
There are clear instruction how to do that, but when I do, I do not get the Original Marshall Code Factory Settings, but basically what is in my 'MyMarshall'.
I seem not to be able to go back to the presets that were in the Code when I first bought it.
Is there a way to do that, or what is the logic behind it?

It is convenient to take my presets to another Code and use mine, but in a gig, they need to be linked to the footswitch.
So how to deal with that?

Thanks for anyones help!

When I follow the instruction for a factory Reset on my Code 50,

==Hold the AMP button while powering on. Once the screen for the reset process shows on the screen, firmly hold the STORE button to confirm factory reset until the screen shows “CONFIRMED”
===

The Presets then are NOT the factory presets, but what I had put in the AMP preset list, with my modifications.
Not visible change has taken place to the list...

What can cause this?

Probably too much to hope for, but does anyone know what the new "CODE 1" box is that has appeared at the bottom of each preset?

Maybe we are going to get a "CODE 2" soon?

Just kidding, I can't see Marshall doing this again.

my footswitch forgot the presets...can i gig with this thing? i can't have that happen... i set up a1, a2, a3 and b1, b2, b3, now its just flashing?

Or is the the app. screwing it up? 

this is looking more complicated than user friendly... 

please help!

Buenas tardes, el día de hoy actualicé mi aplicación gateway y también mi amplificador code 25 mediante USB. Lamentablemente al tratar de cambiar de preset a un preset guardado desde la app se desconecta el Bluetooth.

Por favor, necesito una solución! 

Ciao, chiedevo se fosse possibile salvare i preset  presenti sul code 25  su una cartella del pc.   grazie

My gateway app won't connect with my code 50 and the gateway on the pc with usb cable won't do anything either.
