Hello.
I have a Code 50, so I turn to a particular preset and it includes say, flanger. how do I turn off the flanger and maybe add chorus instead. I know that the MOD section can be turned off. If it is on are the inactive effects simply zeroed out or is there a way to enable and disable each different effect. thanks. It looks like this applies to PRE EX, DEL and REV as well.
A second question is can I use the headphone out into either the guitar input or effect return of a second amp, either tube or SS?
thanks
I've had a DSL40c for a year or two, and it worked fine until a few months ago. While playing, the sound cut out and there was a slight burning smell. I replaced all tubes and pre amps and it worked fine in testing, but then did the same thing when I got it home. Repair guy thought it was a pre amp issue so changed those out again. It worked fine in testing, and then did the same thing again when we got it home. This time when we turned it back on, it would work, but sound would go up and down sporatically with some popping and crackling. Replaced the tubes again, and it worked fine for an hour. Then the sound cut out, and we noticed it would not switch channels. After turning it off and letting it cool down, we turned it on again and it worked fine and channels would change. I'm not sure what to do at this point. My weekend routine of dropping the amp off and then getting it back (with high-hopes) has gotten old. The problems have occurred while plugged straight into the guitar, as well as through a pedal board. Also, the problems have occurred via multiple power sources in different locations (i.e. not always through the same wall socket).
Thanks for your help
Purchased used amp, jcm 2000 tsl 100 2003 with 2003 1960a slant cab. Bought footswitch, being shipped. my questions are 1) will dsl 100 cover fit my tsl 100 2) where can i get replacement tubes 3) Can i get paper manuals for amp and cab 4) is there a rt angle speaker cord available
Well for some of you this should "make your day"!!! Couldn't resist posting about this!!! Hope you don't mind my "stealing your thunder" Team Marshall!!!
At least one retailer / supplier in the UK received their shipment of both the CODE100C and CODE100H yesterday!!! Unfortunately they did not receive any seperate PEDL-91010 footswitches though (so my problem is not yet solved but, nevertheless, this is good news is it not???). I see that there is a 4 x 12" CODE cab. available as well (for the CODE100H). Nice.
I have also contacted Amazon (UK) and they are contacting Marshall to see when they will receive the amps. and footswitches (and they promised to get back to me today so I will update once I hear from them).
There is also a retailer / supplier in the US that expects to begin shipping tomorrow (29th) apparently.
Have fun!!!
Unfortunately I'm "up to my ears" in Marshall CODE amps. so I cannot see myself ordering CODE100's anytime soon. But it'd be really great to hear from those of you that do indeed manage to get their hands on them (especially the CODE100H with the 4 x 12" cab.). Let us know what they're like. My bet is that they sound just as good as any 100W valve head / cab. if set up right (I still marvel at the sound of these CODE amps. to be honest i.e. unless you have a REALLY "good ear" or are a "purist" you have to listen pretty darn hard to tell the difference) (if set up correctly of course).
Regards,
Dale.
My DSL40C suddenly began a fading out static when the standby switch is enabled, or disabled. Also the volume knobs don't do anything, anymore. The gain knobs increase the volume, but there is really no gain. These problems began suddenly and together. I have new tubes on order. What is the most likely issue?
Thanks!
My TSL 122 Combo keeps red plating the tubes. Everyone says these amps have the same kind of issues, but Marshall won't do anything about them, except to but a new board (thanks for sticking behind your products!). Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks much!
Hello,
I just joined the forum so please excuse any incorrect behavior. I have a new dsl 40c with maybe 4 hours under its belt and all of a sudden with no warning it quit working. No sound whatsoever. The power light comes on and the tubes all appear to be glowing. It's still under warranty but I'm really questioning this purchase. After going online and visiting a few groups it seems like this is a fairly common issue. I guess what I'm looking for is a few people to comfort me in my time of need! Comments ate certainly welcome. Thanks so much!

Hello
Picked up this combo a few weeks ago and its making some weird space age noises and im wondering if the valve needs replacement and if so what make i should be using. Many thanks for your help
I bought a Valvestate 8100 head with a AVT 4×12 cabinet but its lacking a serious amount of gain & sustain even on max. I changed the pre-amp tube but it didn't make a difference. It still sounds dull and weak. What could be the cause of it?
I have looked for a definite answer to this and have not found one. I played my amp the other night with no problems, but last night as I turned on the amp it just died on me as soon as I turned the standby off. There was no noise, pops, crackles, fizzes. It just turned off. I checked the main fuse and it was blown. I have not had any issues with tubes and they have not shown any signs of wearing out. I made sure my amp was connected to the cab correctly (remember i have had this rig for 8 years) and that I had a speaker cable rather than a guitar cable. I found online there could be issues with impedence and what not. I took the back off of my cab and noticed that a positive lead on one of my v30's became disconnected. I thought, 'Could it be?" So I reconnected it and replaced the fuse and the amp worked as advertised. I played for an hour or so and no problems yet. Could it be that the discoonnected positive lead on one speaker caused it to blow a main fuse?
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?
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.
i beleive its time to change some tubes.
whats wierd is last tiem i changed my tubes since then everytime i turn off the amp there are clicking/sizzlling sounds and i brought it to be check and got said not to worry is that true?
i just talked to a luthier and ive been told i should not only change the tube but bias it as well?
i am from canads what price should this service be arround?
Is it possible to get el34 the same one that came with the amp originally? The person who changed ly tubes lst time said its not possible.
thank you in advance.

Hi I need info for type of Tube / Valve for vs265 ca. year 2000
My JCM2000 TSL100 will power up and play fully....after a while 30 mins or so....it will fade out to no sound....or weak sound....power it down then up again ...it will play full for another period....had the smae problem before and took to amp guy...it worked perfectly for him...maybe he didn't play it long enough...so I said for him to replace all tubes anyway... it is now doing it again after maybe 50 hours of play....any thoughts or just preplace tubes again....if its a tube is it likely to work for a period of time after its powered down then back up?
One of my power valves is redplating, and prior to that there was a really loud sound coming through the sneaker that sounded like an electrical surge. Is it just a new valve required or something else. At first there was a noticable hum, then I went to plug in my guitar and as soon as I picked up the cable, it made that loud bzzzzzt sound and I shut it off. I then tried it again and noticed the redplating.
Hello, i've noticed that the the when the power amp is on (doens't matter which one) that it seems to make a crackling noise. It is hard to hear when playing, but when you let a chord or note ring out it is noticeable. I have determined that it is the power amp function as when I disable it the noise goes away. Is this normal as it is modeling power valves or is there something faulty?
Thank you.
Amp on clean channel super loud, when on distorted channel need to crank to half or more to equal clean on 1/4 setting, low gain 2 or 3, tubes or owner issue? Is this normal, kick in overdrive distortion goes through roof, in a good way. Loudness not like clean channel. Thoughts or suggestions, thanks in advance.
I've got a Valvestate S80 8240 which has developed a loud hum whether instrument plugged or not.
The hum disappears when it is tilted forward. Can anyone suggest a home fix?
I put up this question before but for some reason it seems to have been deleted!
Hi, I just have a question...If and when it's time to replace the EL-34 Tubes in my head from them wearing out or I just want to try something different in an EL-34, What should the Bias be set to. I can't seem to find that info any place. Thanks,
David A.Topp
