Marshall Code 50 Reviews

What can I say? It's a Marshall

if you want that Marshall guitar tone, just go for it.

It comes with all Marshall classic guitar amps and with some additional effects.

To be honest, I don't feel like buying a Helix or something, because this amp has all that I need.

Btw, if you're not sure between the 25 and 50w version, go for the 50w if you can. It's loud enough to play anywhere you want to, but you can also lower the volume enough to be playable in an apartment.

It is my first amp, it looks cool. Very variable, but It takes a lot of time to find your sound. I haven't found yet.

Volume control.

Issues with Volume when changing presets

Buy it just buy it

This amp is fucking great

Sound Amp

Looking for an amp for my epiphone les paul. already had one from another brand but wanted a good amp for learning which could help me save at the same time. Came to know about the code from Marshall. After various reviews, i decided to go for the 50 watts.

Amp features many presets, tunable and editable easily with tons of possibilities and sounds. Easiest you can get from the marshall library. So easy to use for beginners and editable on phones or tablets using the marshall app. Very Very loud! Amazing power! Helps me save on hardware, the amp can imitate other models of the Marshall family amps.

Highly recommend for beginners and even advanced players

ATTENTION, it squeaks terribly at high volume

And in general, not bad

Amazing amp for the price!

Bought as my first *official* modeling amp, works great for recording and live acts, would definitely recommend for any up-and-coming live artists or professional musicians on a budget!

many features / great sound

Great amplifier for your money. With its help, you have the opportunity to independently compose the sound effect you need. It is very pleasant that, if necessary, you can disconnect part of the circuit (amplifier, preamplifier, etc.) and connect your effects (pedals, preamplifier, amplifier) without distorting them or losing sound. But you need to take into account that you will need to understand the settings. I did not find any minuses for myself. I advise you to buy.

Great choice for beginner

Firstly, it's modular. So you can turn off preamp on Code and connect instead tube preamp (AMT Bricks for example). That will give tube sound with great effects for really small price and I think thats awesome.

This combo have really good clean/crunch sound and a lot of nice effects. High gain presets have that digital unnatural tone, but still sounds not bad.

You can control your presets through phone app, but I never used this feature. I'm just having a lot of fun customizing presets into combo. It's really comfortable once you understand how in works.

For its price this is best buy. It's doing everything and doing it really good. Come on, this even can be a audio interface.

Great combo amp

Good if you like tons effects

I've bought this amp for home practice and it really do the thing. Code 50 has tons of effects, amp and cab modulations, can be used as a Bluetooth speaker. The App is very handy and helps with all these numerous features to be controlled right from your smartphone.

Sound is good and volume is fare enough for home practice, I think it can also handle small gigs.

Also I found that I am more "plug-and-play" and lots of effects and knobs are making me frustrating. Marshall Code series are clearly not for people who want to plug and have perfect sound, you will spend hours to get a decent tone.

Better than I expected

Since it's a digital amp, I wasn't expecting much on sound quality (obviously still not better than a tube amp but better than some still imo). For someone who is starting out on electric guitars, with this amplifier it's a great kick-off. Great to learn and know what you want out of your guitar and amp. Bluetooth compatible is a great characteristic, no need to buy a stereo to play music at home and also can work with the presets and whatnots on Marshal's mobile app. I'm happy with this.

The best amp I could've gotten for quarantine time

This amp is extremely fun to use, with 100 different effects you can never get bored! I was a bit hesitant to buy an electric guitar because I knew I wanted plenty of pedals with it, and my bank account was not happy about it hahah but with this amp I got the best for the money I could've spent!

The best amp for those trying to find their sound!

This is not the best guitar amplifier of all time. But it is the best choice for all intermediate guitarists trying to find their sound and have fun. Very loud, bassy and with extreme possibilities, this amp can drop jaws.

The biggest letdown was the sound quality. Since it is a digital amp, do not expect the sound a tube amp would make. It is more "digital". But it can still be loud and clear.

The extreme advantage of this amp is clearly the possibility of making different sounds. You get the free Marshall amp and you can manually create own sounds or replicate sounds of others (very useful when covering songs).

In conclusion, it was the best buy for me. I mean, you would not get this as a professional guitarist, but come on. You would not look here if you were a professional. For all parents wanting to buy something for their kids to start or for all broke fellas like me, this is the answer! Impressive and sweet!

Marshall Code 50

Bought this amp as my first one aver for playing at home.

The amp. is magnificent, but in my case it is extremely loud for apartment, therefore had to return it. Concerning its pros: the amp. has extremely wide range of effects especially using web software, e.g. you can download presets of your favourite band like Rammstein or Metallica. What about cons, I did not like that it does not have a switch like Boss Katana, where you can choose between different volume levels, interface is very difficult to understand, BUT when you get accustomed with it - you can reach ideal sound of your taste.

Отличный усилитель!

Я приобрел Marshall Code 50 для игры исключительно дома. Меня этот усилитель полностью устраивает. Отличный внешний вид, фантастическая громкость. Звук - супер! Но имейте в виду, это не тот усилитель к которому подключил гитару и играй. Если Вы к звуку относитесь привередливо, то вам придется повозиться с настройками. Но это ничего страшного, оно того стоит. Тем более настройки предельно понятны, а благодаря приложения на смартфон Marshall Gateway вы можете настраивать свой "Код" прямо не вставая с дивана!)) Обязательно вместе с усилителем приобретите футсвич Marshall PEDL91009. Очень полезная вещь!

В общем я рекомендую этот усилитель. Разочарованы в покупке Вы точно не будете!

Very good amp

It was the second amp I used and I don't regret it. I use mostly at home and I don't even pass the 2/10 or 3/10 master volume, so it has potencial for more. The variety is really good and most of the presets are in fact usable (a few are kind of repeated and because of this I think it would be better to have 10 or 15 empty presets out of the 100 storable. You can delete presets and make your own tho, and if you ever feel like you would want them again, all the original presets are in the Marshall code site and you can get them again). Only problem I had was connecting the amp to the pc. when I recorded, sometimes there was a bit of a strange feedback, but that's probably because of the cable, because I never saw other people with that problem.

Finally I think it's a better choice rather the the 25W version because the price is not that higher and it's a lot easier to use and manage the presets, and it allows way more possibilities of usage.

I use for guitar, inside house with marshall headphone bleutooth.

( low electricity use ??$$$ ) Extreamly powerfull Amp, good for use in a big sportenter, outside ( give enough bass), ballroom...so many pre programed sounds.....Thousand possibilitys, produce changing sound with Amp and internet...price and Quality is mega super.

LOUD

I have a 100W Boss Katana and this "50W" box is larger and louder than the former. This being said, it is my first Marshall amp, and I am aware the purists will say only the tube stuff is worthwhile ... but they, I am just playing for fun in my garage for now :)

It has tons of sounds and effects, very much fun and it will shake the house and neighbourhood if you let it loose. The sound is quite good and there was not hum out of the box like on the Boss (I had to go into the software to find the noise cancellation stuff). Marshall was better on that side.

Well, from a non expert viewpoint, this is a nice piece of kit, for the price I am happy buying it.

Marshall will simply never disappoint me

I am pleasantly surprised. I was expecting less for the money but I was blown away.

The presets it comes with are not very good, you will find 2-3 sounds you like at best, out of 100.

However, once I decided to try it out the bluetooth feature and started experimenting with my phone, that's when the magic started. Download the gateway app, enter the website and search for your favourite guitarists' presets. You will get the sounds you want and you'll start to understand how the amp works. You can even save them with your own names in the amp.

JCM, Plexi, Bluesbreaker... they're all there. And they sound ridiculously close to the real thing. It's insane how you can get all those tons in one, and for a great price.

It also comes with a built in tuner and tons of features you will have lots of fun with. This amp should come with the footswitch and it should not be sold separately though.

And also, it's extremely loud. I have no doubt that you can gig with this thing.

To sum up, if you like Marshall amps, you'll love this one. Get it.

A suitable All-in-one option

If you like the idea of having a ton of options in one amp, the Marshall Code series is a very suitable solution. The predefined presets are 100 in number and it may take some time to get to know all of those, but if you don?t actually care and want to jump straight to creating your own sounds, the overall usage is as easy as it can get!

Marshall has created an accompanying mobile app (which is free) that adds another 100 presets if you wish, and also lets you access the presets made by the Marshall community, via the MyMarshall webpage.

Sound is great, and pretty loud and the over manufacturing quality has the name Marshall on it, so there's little left to say about that.
