I have installed the IOS app, and I have two Marshall speakers: the Acton II, and the Stanmore II.

The Stanmore had no issues, I suspect because it does not require a firmware update (yet).  The Acton II on the other hand, will not connect without a firmware update.  Taking that route, it leads to an indefinitel hang.  It starts and never moves past the 20% mark, and it stays that way indefinitely.

I've tried power-cycling the speaker.

I've tried factory-resetting it too.

I've also tried installing the app on my Mac (rather than the iPhone), with exactly the same results.

Nothing.

Anyone else come across this?

Updates from a Marshall support call to which I have responded:

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Marshall Support Team. 

Let's try a few steps to see if we can resolve this issue together.  

First: it is important to note that the Marshall Bluetooth app is NOT needed to pair the speaker to your phone. Please keep the app closed until you get to the very last section of the instructions below. 

(1) Perform a factory reset of the speaker:
- Press and HOLD the Source and Play/Pause button for 7-10 seconds​...DONE​
- The SOURCE LED's will all flash quickly to confirm the reset was successful...DONE
- Remove the II Bluetooth from your audio device’s Bluetooth list before pairing again...DONE

(2) Connect the speaker to your phone via Bluetooth:
- make sure the Bluetooth menu on your phone (device) is CLOSED...DONE
- set the source to Bluetooth...DONE
- push and hold in the source button until the Bluetooth LED Light is flashing...DONE
- open the Bluetooth menu on your phone (or device), find & select the speaker...DONE

(3) Attempt to update the speaker again, complete these steps in this order:
- update the app to the latest version...DONE[UpToDate]
- make sure your phone and device are next to each other...DONE, and
- make sure that the speaker is powered on and connected to your phone via Bluetooth...DONE
- attempt to complete the update again...FAILED

Let us know if this helps.

I am using Macbook Air M1 and iPad pro M1 with Acton 2

What should I do because I can't update the firmware because it hasn't been downloaded more than 50% even after an hour?

Where do I register a product online

I tried to plug headphones  to emulated out with the speaker jack out is you mention on the instructions but what comes up is just a white noise, do i need to use a specific headphones? and what should be the problem?

One thing up front: I love my Code 100C (have two of them), it gives me all tonal possibilities I need, and it never let me down, even not with any bluetooth-issues.

What I really miss is an xlr-out to the mixer or any other possibility "direct-out" other than micing the amp (the headphone/line-out is no option since the amp is quiet then). This lack became annoying, so I decided to get an external multi-fx-board.

Deciding between Helix, Boss and others in the mid-price-range (a Kemper is way beyond what I need) I finally decided for the Valeton GP-200, having read only positive reviews - and the price of 350 € is unbeatable for what it offers. Sound- and effects-quality is great (for my purposesat at least), and going in the return-jack of my 100C spares the 100C-modulation-section to give me the pure sound of the GP-200. And it sounds great with the 100C, no need to change speakers.

Sorry to say: I wouldn't have changed my setup if the 100C had a direct-out, and I'll keep both of my 100Cs, but for the future the combination of the 100C and the GP-200 is my go-to-equipment - although I really like(d) the modelling of the amp (that said again!).

Bom,  ja tentei e procurei no youtube, mas não achei nada, espero ansiosamente que possam me ajudar.

enfim, estou tentando gravar um ritmo, melodia, tocar algo e que a caixa grave e reproduza o que eu toquei, pra depois pode tocar outra coisa em cima, tem como fazer isso de algum modo?

Aguardo  o retorno, obrigado.

Que a força esteja com você.

Hey Team!

Own three Marshall JCM 2000 DSL, two are pre 2004 and at least one of them seems to have the Bias Drift issue. Where can I get hold of a replacement main board? I'm based in Germany.

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!

Bonjour,

Je suis debutant avec une guitare de marque Maison type Les paul!quel preampli? quel Ampli?etc?? dois je selectionner et enregister pour avoir un son le plus clair possible! merci pour votre aide!

In the past, it was possible to reorder presets in my library by logging into my.marshall.com. That sort order would then also appear on the Gateway app.

In the new Gateway 2.0 app (which has many things I like and seems more stable), there does not seem to be any way to reorder the presets. On my.marshall.com you can sort the library by name, so I thought I will number the presets to get the order I want. However, the library on the Gateway app seems to always and only sorted by the most recently added presets.

Am I missing something?

This amp has not been powered up for about 20 years. I have been advised to power it up slowly using a variac to protect the electrolytic capacitors.

Does this make sense or can I just switch it on?

Thanks to any old-timers who can answer this.
Cheers

The Marshall CS JTM 1 carries a tube/valve complement of two ECC83/12AX7 in the preamp and one ECC82 in the power section. Once the tubes have been removed for replacement, how does one tell which tubes go back into which sockets? The pin outs allow for any of the tubes to go back into any of the sockets. I can't seem to find a PDF of the ower's manual either. Is there somewhere on line that Marshall or another source provides this PDF? Thank you for any  help in advance. 

how come i cannot acsess my library?

When I use my CODE100H with a cab, do I need to turn the cabinet settings off? I've seen several "how to" videos (including ones that have a Marshall tech in them) saying as I'm connected to a cab I don't need the cabinet setting. I've got the CODE4X12 cabinet.

Thoughts?
