Yes, yes I know....Windows Phone lol. But will there be a Gateway port for the windows phone?

Hello

when turning on my code 50 amp I wasn't able to get any public presets made by the community iv tried factory resetting the amp reinstalling the gate way app numerous times but when signing back in I get the same error message my amp has not been updated with the recent firmware but I'm unable to because I can't sign into my account on the gate way app any fixes

The error message says

"An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made"

Hi guys, i tried to update firmware with chrome on my Apple computer. Your support told me to use PC. I dont have a PC!

So i went to factory reset my amp and no luck. Only message i see is "chk usb" and  no reset is possible.

I need help as i dont care anymore about firmware updates just want to play on my Amp.

Thanks

How in the world are you supposed to get this working?   there used to be a utility you could download but its gone.. I have tried 3  different computers and 3 different  cables..  same problem, doesnt detect Code  50 connected.  Come out.. updating firmware should be simple.  Please provide link to firmware update utility or better help than REBOOT computer and amp.. nothing works.

Hello,

I got my DSL40CR brand new in November.  I love how it sounds, but it has an annoying and random issue.  Whenever I've been playing my amp for an extended period, about 30 minutes or so, it starts to hiss and buzz.  It starts quietly at first, but in the next few seconds, it gets louder and louder until it's ear-shatteringly loud.  The only way to fix it is by shutting it off and waiting a few minutes, and then the cycle will repeat in an indeterminate amount of time.  Turning it on standby mode does not fix it; shutting it off then immediately back on also maintains the noise.  The only way is to wait a few minutes.  This problem solely depends on how long the amp is on, as playing or not playing the instrument for the full period will result in the same problem.

What is the issue?  And how could I get it fixed/fix it myself?

Hi,
My Code 50 sounds cold, lifeless, scratchy at room volume. As soon as it is turned up, the sound comes to life. Is there a way to improve the sound when it is set to low?

Thanks to Marshall for the latest firmware (v1.48) update and new presets. The eleven new presets are cool. Thanks again for keeping us Code amp owners in mind.

Dear Marshall team:

I use the Code 25 amplifier, with the Gateway app and the Code series footswitch. The firmware is updated with the latest version available.

For a long time I have been noticing certain problems, mainly:

-The preset settings are changed on their own (sometimes the volume, other times the gain...) They are usually changed to the settings on the control knobs. I load the preset again, and after a while some of the settings are changed again.

-Another problem is that after using a preset for a while, when changing to another it does not change (it stays blocked). It does not respond either by using the pedal or by changing the preset from the app I have to turn off the amp. At first I thought it would be a Bluetooth problem, since I was using the Gateway application, with an iPhone. But now I'm using it with an Android phone and I continue to have the same problems.

Waiting for your comments, receive a cordial greeting.

Eduardo,

Hi, after a few long hours of use, turned on my DSL40CR and the sound faded away and now has a faint sound even cranked. Plugged in the the effects loop return and sounds fine so the issue is in the pream section. It's not q tube as o installed a fresh set to check and still the same issue. Any ideas what could have happened?

I have a Apple laptop with chrome installed.Tryed to install the latest firmware but it goes to 100% and sticks.The new amp is now useless .Please could you help.

Hi, does code 25 works with Tonebridge app on Android, connected by irig 2?

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.

Hi,

I know that this is a recurrent demand, but please, no more "control the volume using Gateway app" answers, everybody knows that this is a component issue, not a software need for update or anything. The fact is that master volume pots are either low quality ones, or defective manufacturing components. So, all I need to know are the specs of this component (resistance values, taper, etc.) so I can purchase the correct component and replace it myself. Also, understand that I live in a place where there is no authorized Marshall servicing, and my Code amp is over three years old, therefore without any warranty. Again, please no more "send equipment to an engineer" answers, I have enough ability to do the work myself. A good thing would be if you make available the schematic diagrams of the Code amps, but I think that might be not possible. or you would have done it a long time ago.

Thank you in advance for your attention! Marshall Code RULES! But without that scratchy pot...

Best Regards,

amp powers on and presets all show up and change. sound just cut out! appears like petal display still changes buut no sound at all. jjust stopped in the middle of the song. ran a firm update and reset to factory...nothing

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. 

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!).

Gateway version 1.5.5 (Wireless Bluetooth selection from the set list, playback selection)
I bought CODE 25 because of its services.
This wasn't made for a concert, but it was great for practice. It took a lot of work to set up the sounds and I was able to play music to my liking with the help of my mobile phone. Now, against my will, version 2 is here, which does not know these things. It was difficult to download the 1.5.5 version again because I like it, but the next day I have the 2nd version on my phone again and this has happened several times. What right do they have to overwrite my phone's settings?
How could I use my favorite amp and settings again to my heart's content, because that's what I paid for, I worked for. If there is a new version, anyone who likes it can use it, but why prevent those who like the old version from continuing to use the system that was created with a lot of effort. This is why I can't return the amplifier! I am waiting for an urgent reply!

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?

I don't understand that upgrade with less options.

My app upgraded automatically without give me posibility if I wanted this version. I use much playback and tuner, I don't seem better the last version.

This version is more beautiful visually but less functional.

I want the old version
