Hello folks, I have just bought the Marshall Code 100 which I was really excited about having read the description and watched the demo videos. The amp does sound amazing, but yesterday, on the first occasion that I actually tried the amp during a rehearsal, I was shocked to discover that when I step on the provided footswitch to change presets (like activating one with distortion or heavy delay), mid-song, the flow of the sound broke, there was a moment of silence before it switched to the next preset. I've been trying to research this on the Internet, but have only found 2 instances of it being addressed, no one talks about this in review videos or blogs. This baffles me - how is (mostly) everyone ok with this?

This effectively makes it impossible to use the built-in effects of the amp, which is exactly what its main outstanding feature is. Why have 100 presets when you can't switch mid-song? Are guitarists only supposed to use the Code family to select the main sound they want for a certain song, then keep using pedals for changes mid-song? ?

I'm extremely disappointed since the built-in effects were the main reason I went for this amp - I wanted to use this as both an amp and a multi-effect board to some extent. Is there any fix for this? A firmware update may be, or does the separately-sold Code pedal make a difference? 

Seriously considering returning it at this point. Advance thanks for the replies. 

Can I update the firmware via USB on my code 50 if I use a Mac?

Can anyone recommend settings to emulate the very long guitar solo in Brighton Rock by Queen? I'm thinking of the version from live killers. I'm sure there is chorus, delay and crunch there but just need help setting the parameters. 

hello, 
after a few uses the left headset does not charge, can you help me with some suggestions that would cause this? 
I reset and followed the steps on the site, thank you,

Poping sound when turning off standby . Is tis normal for the Randy Roads Tribute Head

So I have had a new CODE25 for about four months, and two weeks ago it suddently started to go silent after playing a few minutes. No sound at all, very suddenly. Lights all still on, screen on (though maybe dimmed), and it won't recover until I power it down and restart--and then it may or may not play for a few minutes more after that. Didn't seem like an overheating issue (I rarely play that loud, and at the time I was using a sweet clean preset).

I've updated the firmware and still have the problem. I'm in Hawaii, and I'm not sure there's a Marshall warranty place here to do any work on it. Am I stuck returning it? Is this a common problem?

I absolutely love this thing, I'd hate to have to abandon it for poor dependability reasons.

When trying to get additional presets I am getting Code Not Connected even though it is.

I'm using Google Chrome browser.

What am I missing?

Please help.

The connection via bluetooth and the  Androidphone will work. The amp and the phone ist pared but the gateway app doesn´t recognise the amp. What is wrong? Are i am stupid or what the f***** is the reason? I updated the firmware of the amp... Please help me or give me detailed advices!

I hope I haven't bought a low end amp, but I'm sure it's all about preference. I don't have the manual to it yet but I am needing to know if the PEDL-90008 is worth buying and does this amp have a true "TUNER" onboard?

Can any  of you (sick units) make a few 80s specific guitarist Presets like...

Snake from Skid Row

Lead guitarist from Firehouse Bill Leverty prefferably All She Wrote

White Lion Vito Bratta

Any others would be great also.

and thank you all! Youz guys kill it with these settings!!

I bought a ditto + looper pedal but as soon as it is on there is a huge hissing and whirring sound through my code 25 . Is there any way to stop this annoying noise, because if i cant use a looper pedal i might sell the amp and get one that works with a looper.

IS THERE A RECOMMENDED TIME/PERIOD BEFORE I SWITCH MY  MARSHALL DSL20CR TO HIGH/LOW  OUTPUT AFTER TURNING ON? LIKE HOW MANY SECONDS OR MINUTES OF WARM UP ON STANDBY? 

Hello All,

I´m beginner in guitar playing, can somewho help me find aro create The Darkness preset for my Code 25?

how to use the guitar tuner on my code 50

Bought a new DSL40CR in December of 2020 and last month it blew the 630 MA fuse on the PCB. Replaced fuse and swapped out all tubes. Now amp only works on 40 watt but has a lot less volume and does not sound like it did. The PCB has spots around CAPS that look burnt. Any suggestions? Can you purchase the PCB?

Dealer where I purchased not very helpful when I went to them to question about warranty, they kept trying to sell me a  new amp, not Marshall and said I would have to pay any and all costs if it was repairable. 

Really liked the amp when working correctly but am concerned that this would happen again if I purchase another one. 1 year and 3 months and total failure????

Marshall has restored my confidence in their product. They contacted me same day and gave me a list of where to take my amp for warranty repairs. The amp has 3 year parts/5 year labor warranty. Will update again when repairs are complete.

I purchased a second DSL40cr amp and got my originalback from the shop. Took my repaired amp home before Memorial Day Holiday and so far it is doing great.

Again want to thank the people at Marshall for making this happen once I explained the problem.

speaker was damaged by the rain

I really like the sound of reverse reverb. Only problem is that the code amps do not offer such effect. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution or if this effect might be something that could be added with an update?

Kind regards,

Hi all,

finally tried out how much an open back of my Code 100C would affect the sound of the amp. Surprise: The change is very subtle imo. The combo comes a little bit more "alive", a little bit more "airy", but the change was not so significant as I expected.

To avoid an irreversible modification I first just removed the whole backplate. Then - while I was playing - my son put the plate in and removed it again severeal times. "Open" the amp sounded as good as ever, (I didn't notice a change of sound) but when my son closed the back the sound became slightly "muddier".

Now I'm discussing with myself whether it's worth the effort to modify the backplate or not. If I do so I would only saw out either a rectangle 40 to 20 (or 30) cm or - alternatively - 5 or 6 holes with a diameter of about 10 cm.

I know there was a related thread here, but maybe some of you have made some further experience with this.

Greets!
