Code 25 : best small amp i've ever had

4 years ago

I'll start with the one minor con it has: there's a learning curve to it. But it makes it very fun. You have full control of every amp, pre-amp, cabinet, effect, backing track, all on its tiny display or from the app controlled via bluetooth.

Had trouble connecting my phone the first time, but now it autoconnects to my phone every time i turn it on and works like a bluetooth speaker.

The app looks like it was made in 2012, but it works well and has a simple UI despite it being a bit primitive. But you can control everything from the app. Everything.

The amp carries about 100 presets which you can modify and save as you please. You can also have another 100 different presets on your phone. Easy to edit, save and play. Plus the wide range of presets offered online by marshall fans, which you download. You will need a USB cable for that, which is not provided.

The amp is loud, has the richest variety of sounds i've heard and beyond different styles, it contains a version of almost every amp marshall has ever released. It's a nice walk down history of guitar lane.

Again, always a lot prettier in person. It has a great look and feel with the bronze finish on top and all the flickering lights from each button. The rest of the design is simple and clean and the whole package has a very sturdy feel to it.

If I'm ever not recommending the Marshall Code25 then it's because I'm recommending the Marshall Code50 or a bigger version of it.
