Overall:Just received the amp today, has that great Marshall sound plus more! I only went through the presets so far with my Squier Strat and Vox Wah, haven't even gotten out my humbucker or messed with the features yet, and I am quite happy with it! Started out 30 years ago with a Roland Dac-15 and played it for decades until it finally died. Bought a Marshall 25 watt about 10 years ago and it sounded descent but had to sell it along with my first Strat and effects that I acquired over the years to pay bills. This amp blows all the other ones out of the water! I was looking for a practice amp last week and thought I would find the "typical" stuff that I always see, and when I stumbled across this, I was like "No way, and for this price!".

I had no idea that the technology had gone this far! I was originally going to get the 25, but when you saw the 50 for only $50 dollars more, I had to get it! I do recording on a Tascam DP-008ex, had gotten some effects and an amp simulator which is fine, but I can't wait to record with this, it's going to sound so much better! So if you're looking for a kick ass amp, I highly recommend this one!

This review is for the Marshall Code 50. Had some issues with the Bluetooth at first which gives you access to many user presets. But after a software update everything works great. Thing really sounds amazing when you get things adjusted. Most of the factory presets aren't great besides the marshal ones. But thanks to the app, there are tons of presets that are great, you can get an AC30, clean fender, even John5s JTM. The official Marshall presets line the JTM45 are great. Only issues is the master volume is kinda lacking at the low end, but not really a huge deal. For the price this thing kicks! Very close to the Boss Katana, but if your looking for the Marshall tone the code 50 does it better for cheeper. Again, update the software. Pretty easy to do. I think it ...

The marshall code 50 and all other modeling amps are not plug and play,you have to dig in and change the parameters in the amp and create user presets that sound good to you! If it sounds good then it is good! If you want your amp model to sound just like the tube amp it is modeled from,then buy the tube amp.I have other modeling amps and my peavey vypyr 75 recto model that i like very much does not sound just like a mesa but i tweaked it to sound good for what i like,i think the marshall code amps sound very close to there own tube amplifiers that there modeled after and that is how good amp modeling is getting.I just want to mention some things you can do to improve the sound of your marshall code,first break in your amps speaker for about 100 hours by playing ...

I tried my behringer PB100 pre amp booster pedal with the bass control turned down to a 7 o clock position and that did the trick,the low end mud was gone and the mid frequencies stood out like i never heard before! It just sounded great now! I then tried my behringer TO100 tube overdrive pedal and i could not believe that the bluesbreaker model even sounds better then the pre amp booster! The TO100 overdrive also cut out the low end mud and the mid frequencies were smoother and the higher E and B strings on my guitar had a nice round tube tone without thin sounding harshness! I also tried the marshall codes internal OD and GVR pedal effects but my behringer TO100 sounded much better!

Service of Musicstore is perfect (Next day delivery (Belgium) by DPD with accurate track and trace).The CODE50 sounds great and loud enough for any large bedroom sized space. The integrated FX are of really good quality. I may sell my old FX-pedals ;-)Connection (Bluetooth) with the Gateway app required a restart of the app (using iOS 15 on iPad and iPhone), so don't get upset if it doesn't seem to work straight away.The Amp was delivered with an extra mains power cable (don't know why), but without a micro-USB cable. I was lucky I already have such a micro-USB cable, but they may be hard to find nowadays I guess.Connecting the Amp to a PC allows to update the firmware, but my CODE50 already had the latest firmware version.Although the CODE50 (when connected to ...

A workaround seems to be to install ASIO4ALL ... This means, I don't connect the Amp to the PC, which eliminates the further need for the USB cable.There is more info on the respective forums.Conclusion: Great Amp, lots of inspiring sounds (and I only used the presets so far) and remarkably affordable.
I bought mine in 2017 just a couple months after a house fire took everything but the clothes on my back including an Epiphone Cherry Sunburst Ace Frehley Les Paul and I got a Silver Burst Les Paul Custom Pro (Epihone) and I went out of town and stopped at a music store and saw the Marshall Code 50, after I saw the price ( can't remember exactly but it was $200 and something new) I immediately bought it. Les Paul and Marshall is just what I like and I don't really care about anything else. I couldn't believe the volume and all the super cool sounds you can get out of it and I have never understood the bad reviews I have always read.

Some people will snobbishly dis my Epiphone and I would love to have a Gibson, I know they are better but not thousands of dollars better and there's not a damn thing wrong with these amps. 5 years later and it's still working and sounding great. I have zero regrets about buying it.
Make no mistake, this is a true Marshall amp that emulates great sound combinations with plenty of power and flexibility. I owned a JCM 2000 DSL 100W with a JCM 900 4 speaker cab for over 10 years and got hooked to the sound quality, but it was a monster to keep lugging around and with 100W valves you didn't get the warm tones until the windows shook. I really wanted the sound and tone of a tube amp that was flexible enough to play at home or take to gigs. I tried several amps, including the DSL40W combo, but the Code 50 replicates the sound impeccably at half the cost and half the weight. The sound quality doesn't break up at the low end like tube amps. It also gives you several more options and presets that get you started quickly. Step into the modern age and use ...

Step into the modern age and use the app to get started, then create your own. Get the nicer foot switch (91009) if you play out. I read some reviews complaining about the Bluetooth connection. If you try to connect using the Gateway app, it didn't work for me. Going into the Phone or iPad settings and using the Bluetooth there resolved the issue in seconds. Then the Gateway app connects with no issue. I have had several amps over the years playing professionally and I admit that I like this the best. There are some players that gave 4 stars because they just can't get the one specific sound they wanted. In my experience, there was no way I could use just one sound for the entire set or gig. This amp will not disappoint. And it's fun.
Have played for 48 years in bands, and played all kinds and brands of amp, all tube - until this amp. I bought to use at practice but it's light and loud (for my uses) and we mic up the amp anyway. Some may not agree, but I never got a single preset to sound good for me. I play a '72 warm sweet Tele and a 1986 MIM hot sounding Strat. I also wasn't so sure about the closed back, had never had that. BUT I leave it on "setting" "00" - NO preset effects. (I play in a band that doesn't allow me to change presets quickly, and on the fly even with the foot switch.) My OD pedals, plus various chorus, reverb, tremelo, wahwah and flanger - sound great through this little 12" speaker solid state amp. Light enough that even the singer carries it!

This amp is underrated. It has 100 presets and the ability to edit these. Some of them sound great and some don't but the majority sound very good and accurate to the tube equivalent.I would recommend this as an addition to a tube amp for practising purposes. You could also use it for gigging but I personally use it for practising with headphones.
I've been playing on and off for 20 years. Mostly an attenuated tube amp guy and a gear tinkerer. Found one of these on the showroom and gave it a quick whirl. This quickly led to buying one. Cons: The more time I spent the more I realized how limited the stock speaker is. It's super directional and the bass is a bit boomy and hard to dial out without removed too many lower mids. It still sounds good, but it can be much better. The stock preset settings, like a lot of reviews, leave me scratching my head. The resonance, presence and gate settings in particular tend to screw with the quality of sound as set from the factory. There's no speaker out, so I installed one. If you want this amp to shine, you'll need to do a speaker swap or plug into a 4x12. Marshall should ... MoreI've been playing on and off for 20 years.

If you want this amp to shine, you'll need to do a speaker swap or plug into a 4x12. Marshall should have done this.Pros: The goods are definitely there, but you need to scratch the surface. Once you get that direction figured out, it's very easy to dial in your own settings which will differ quite a bit from the factory presets. I have a 4x12 w/ Vintage 30's and this amp sounds amazing plugged in. The JTM, Plexi, JCM, JVM, American amps all sound outstanding. But the JTM45 in particular sounds outstanding. Effects are great and I'm starting to use certain effects that I normally wouldn't buy a pedal for simply because they're in the amp. Another must do is to figure out your speaker choices for each amp. I'm a Vintage 30 fan, so after changing the speaker to V30's on all the amps, to me it sounds much better. It's a good tool to be able to hear what different speakers will do at the turn of a button, just to see what characteristics in speakers you may like.My secret sauce with this amp is my Les Paul through a 10 band EQ (to boost the highs you loose using the speaker emulations through a 4x12 with those emulated speakers), through a Marshall BB-2 for boost, into Marshall Code on JTM45 through the 4x12 w/ Vintage 30's. Absolute heaven going on with this, even at low volume
Overall:Ooookay - here is MY review! I have been playing guitar for almost 50 years. Been in a lot of bands and have been playing just about every Sunday at church for about 20 years. I have had a LOT of gear. This amp is not just good "for the price", it's just really good at any price, in my opinion. I think what it boils down to is it DOES take time to work with the presets. As many others have pointed out, you need to cut down on the presence and the other low end level (I forgot what they call it) as well as the gate. THEN just take the time to get acquainted with the amp and customize your presets. I will say that the amp seems to be given more to overdrive and distortion sounds than it is to clean sounds but you definitely can get nice clean sounds out of it ...

I will say that the amp seems to be given more to overdrive and distortion sounds than it is to clean sounds but you definitely can get nice clean sounds out of it as well. I have just sold the last of my effects pedals and just use this amp - it's that good! Being almost 60 years old I'm not the best with fiddling with electronic stuff but I'll tell you this - it only took me about ten minutes to be able to easily work with the settings on this righteous amp. I just used it today at my church - black gospel church - and after the first song one of the choir lady's leaned over and said "you are sounding great!". I concur - I WAS sounding great! Another thing you should look into is the Code pedal so you can change your pre-sets on the fly. I got it and am very happy I did. I have three main channels that I have made (you can do 100 though!). I have a clean, a crunch and a super overdrive. Those three settings alone, along with my guitar's tone and volume controls cover everything. Oh, I do have one pedal that the Code can't duplicate, my Cry Baby Wah Wah. In summary - if you don't mind taking time to get this thing set up right, then just GET IT and have fun, Fun, FUN!! PS: One other thing I like is since I have 22 titanium parts in my back, this thing is light AND still plenty loud to gig with!
