Code 25 : Good deal for this money

3 years ago

For a small amount, you get a bunch of sound options and a powerful combo. 25W is enough for a concert in a small restaurant, it can be too loud for a home (at home I don't set more than 5% on the master).

Maybe not all virtual amps sound as good as 2000€ amps, but it doesn't cost that much either. You can find a comparison on YouTube yourself and listen to the difference.

I like not all the amps in code, but anyway there are a lot of good ones and enough of them to get the sound I want. What I love the most is that I can take a "clean" amp and overdrive it, or make a "dirty" sound even dirtier.

Disadvantages (for me they are not critical for this money):

- Handles turn too easily. The "master" handle causes the most problems. Its value is not displayed, and the combo is very powerful for the home.

- There is no metronome. I really can’t understand why it wasn’t added, the combo already has similar functionality, it shouldn’t be very difficult code it in "Code". But as an alternative to the meter, you can connect a smartphone (3.5 jack or bluetooth)

- Not very convenient to use the tuner. It seems to respond slowly to changes in string frequency.

- The first connection of an android smartphone causes problems, but then everything is fine. I had to google to figure it out.
