I just don't understand the hate, it sounds great to me. And the bonus is that little practice amp sitting in the corner of your bedroom is gonna look that much cooler thanks to the Marshall logo emblazoned across the front of it. The sort of little thing that puts a smile on your face. Fact is, this amp was made for people like me with not the time, budget, or knowledge to take this shit too seriously, people with more knowledge and chops hate it because it flat out wasn't designed for them. Plus I guess they have the ears and experience to actually hear something bad that I can't. I guess.
Yep, I wish I'd have had something like this when I started to play 30 years ago. I use the Code 25 with footswitch as practice amp at home and it fills all my needs. Actually I don't use the mobile app because it would need me to switch glasses. I prefer to connect the amp via USB to the computer and just use the Internet Browser to switch between presets, or to create own ones
This is one of those videos to shut the mouth of those guys who love to throw stones on the Marshall Code line here on youtube. Even Johan Segeborn, a Marshall tube guru in my opinion, did a decent demonstration on this same Code 25. It is difficult for purists to accept that the future and portability have arrived, and Marshall is following this trend. Very well done, congratulations on the excellent video!
To be honest, you could record a studio album on this code and the same album with the high end, and fully produced up, the nesayers wouldn't be able to pick which album was what.
I just watched his video and he gets a good sound by cranking the Volume and Master all the way up and close mic the speaker. Sounds decent like that but of course it’s extremely loud.
@@tubesurfer1977 you ain't taking this to no studio my friend, you could record with it, but studio recording forget it. i have this amp and it's more than loud enough for home use, i like the features it gives you, it reminds me of the Mustang series from Fender, but compared to other amps in this price range this one sounded the best to me.
Since this amp focuses on emulating Marshall amps, I’m wonder if most of the complaints are from folks who are upset that they can’t get this amp to sound like a Mesa Boogie or a Peavey...
Most are ageing rockers who have a problem with amp/cab simulation . . . sad really . . . I am one BTW, but I do have a code 25 and I think it does fine job.
I started with a Park Lead 50 Combo then a JCM800 Combo Then had a Valvestate 100 Then a JCM 2000 TSL100 and a MG10 for practice now a DSL401 Its either this or an Origin model. Always loved Marshalls. there the sound of Rock and Roll.
I love guitar, but it is just a hobby which I can't dedicate much time and so I sux on this. But your review, plus this excellent app, helped me so much to understand what is what in these complicated AMP settings. Thank you so much!
Regardless the fact that you restored my peace of mind as I purchased this amp BEFORE reading the reviews, I subscribed to your channel just for your insane video editing skills. That's unreal!
I'm still a beginner to electric guitar playing and got this amp. I never really got into understanding the ins and outs of it and mostly jumped between a couple presets. I've found myself jumping to the conclusion that this amp has no "good" sounds. This video is a clear reminder that it has the potential to sound good if I can just develop a fundamental understanding of what makes a good tone, as well getting to know my gear! Thanks for the inspiration, this really strips me of any excuses haha.
I dont get it why people bad mouth code 25? I have old roland cube x20 and Im really interested in code for an upgrade. I really like that it has BT and I think that its minimalistic design would look really good in a living room. And this demo is awesome, maybe people who trash it don't know how to adjust it or something!
Soy un novato y he comprado este Marshall Code25, para mi nivel de principiante es maravilloso pero no consigo un tono de guitarra de rock con cuerpo y brillante como puedes escuchar a los profesionales del blues/rock. Los presets con overdrive parece que suenan muy iguales todos. Estoy interesado en saber porque usted no respalda este amplificador, posiblemente me ayude a decidir otro amplificador en el futuro.
I have this amp. Is a cool little amp. I put the studio stack clean channel on. Use other distortion pedals I own and it’s cool. I also use the distortions that come with the amp. Very good amp
Thanks mate! Really appreciate it. I’d love to but i decided it’s not a fair comparison seeing as the wattage and speaker size are so different. Both sound great though. I wish these were around when I first started playing guitar. The value for money on these amps are unbelievable! 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos the only amp I could afford in the 80s was this model i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/2ZAAAOSwVAtcTdO8/$_72.JPG . 30w transistors, sounded like crap and costed that time almost the same like the CODE today, without having at least a reverb
I love my Code 50 Marshall. This amp gets alot of hate. Guess not for everyone.I was not to excited the first time I played it. The presets are not good. I don't understand why they would not spend more effort making them shine. I plugged in and had bad experience and first impression.Almost returned amp. Next day started tweaking and was blown away.Noise gate presence and resonance seriously affects the sound. This amp is amazing!For the CASH can't be beat.
i don’t really know what to think, i saw some other reviews and they say it’s shitty amp and sound really metallic, and i have already bought it so idk i hope it’s going to be good

i've had a code 50 for 3 years now. and still love it. You just gotta make your own presets and tweak them. Just about every rackmount digitech >ADA and others the presets suck... the code amps give you a lot for your Money. It was my sons 13th bday. I picked up a used code 25 for $129 used at guitar center.. How can you beat that.
hi, i'm new to electric guitars so i apologize if this question is dumb. i really like the tone at 1:01. to get this tone, is it primarily the guitar, the amp, or both? would it be possible to get that type of tone from another guitar/amp? again, sorry if this is a basic/straightforward question.
Hey, it's a combination of the guitar and the amp, mostly amp. I'm using a Telecaster style guitar on the neck pickup. Any Tele style guitar should get pretty similar sounds with this amp if you copy all the settings I flash on screen. Yes, you can get this sort of tone from other amps and guitars, as long as you use a guitar with single coil pickups and a clean set amp with built in Reverb + Delay 👍
We hear so many negative reviews in the Marshall code and but actually they're far better than boss katana once you darling your toes you can make hundreds of presets and sounds the boss katana can't do it
Hi! I live in an apartment and I am trying to decide if I get the 25w or the 50w version. I really prefer the screen on the 50w model plus the 12” speaker, but I am concerned about playing in the apartment. If I buy the code 50, Can I increase the master volume and adjust the volume on each preset, so I can play my guitar at low volumes without disturbing neighbors and without loosing tone?
Hey, Yes, I'd go Code 50. You can control it really in depth with your phone and keep the volume low, since it's digital it sounds the same at low volumes to high 👍
Is it a good amp for playing at low volume like in the bedroom? I've been doing a lot of searching and this one seems to be really good for the price and you get a lot of options with the app to change to different sounds. But I only intend to play relatively silent in my room. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Yeh I'd say it shines at low volumes using it's internal speaker. If you get one, use some of the Presets on my Marshall then tweak from there 👍The presets it comes loaded with are a bit full on (they are trying to showcase all the fx etc.)
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Thanks! I've got an acoustic guitar for a year and half and now planning to buy my first electrical so I don't know much about amps and stuff yet. I appreciate it!
I got the DSL 40CR recently and love it but I am going to return because it is too loud. Does this code 25 produce the same tones as DSL 40CR but at lower sound levels?
Both good choices. The Marshall is great if you like the classic Marshall sound and love to tweak everything. The Nux has less options but is still very versatile. Just have a listen and see which you prefer 👍
I bet this would sound decent as a pre amp into a cranked tube amp with greenback speakers but the way it is doesn’t sound great. The clean sounds are pretty good but the overdrive is meh
I heard that if i download a preset from the marshall page if i save to my code it will erase my previous preset theres any way to download them without erase the code presets?
Salve! Non riesco a collegare il code 25 al sito My.marshall per provare i preset disponibili. L'appplicazione gateway si collega e la luce azzurra si blocca riconoscendo il Bluetooth.

Congratulations for the video ..... this is a dusky amplifier ... need to be calm, patience and like marshalls .......... I bought 1 .... I did a show with my band ... "OLDSTOCK" classic rock .... he survived ..... rsss ...... sounded very well with pedals, especially with my old crybaby .
This amp with the newer updates in firmware, etc, make it 10 tims better than before !
0 words are said on this video and i can say that this is the best video about Marshall Code (25, 50,100) on whole CZcams 😌😁
The only marshall code review with the most positive comments made me buy a code a code 25
Love my Code 25! And YES: This demo is awesome!!!
Hasta ahora lo conservas?

Yeh exactly. It’s not designed to compete with a £2000 amp. Although some of the sounds I’d actually take over a £2000 amp!
Yep, I wish I'd have had something like this when I started to play 30 years ago. I use the Code 25 with footswitch as practice amp at home and it fills all my needs.

Also most of the people listen with their eyes
Thanx. You have to understand the amp. Think it is a great tool. Love it to create typical sounds.
Furthermore it's much more versatile than a Fender LT25 by exemple, has bluetooth, gateway app... great practice amp

I did the same thing, bought it today used without reading reviews because it sounded great. Youll have to spend some time dialing it in,though.
The best channel of gear demo ever, pure and simple demos!!
Awesome demo as usual mate! If I didn't already have a Boss Katana 50 I'd be really tempted to get one of these - I think they sounds great!
Thank you for your video. I've been trying to figure my Code 25 out and your video has put me on the right track.
Best Review for code. Definitely buying this. Dunno what's all the skepticism about this compared to Katana 50.
U bought it yet?
The best demo in youtube! Thanks from Brazil
Very well organized video, common sense 👍 and audio it’s perfect, as all video demos should be👍👍👍

The JTM amp model sounds great give that one a go. Also worth experimenting with cab on vs cab off. Some of the models sound closer with the cab off 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos I'll make sure to experiment with it. Thanks for all the tips!
Keep up the great work!
I just swapped the speaker for a Celestion ten 30.
Great great upgrade. However I never use the cab simulation.
Another legendary demo.
Like my Code 25. Easy to move, easy use and sounds good…
My first Marshall ever!
I dont get it why people bad mouth code 25? I have old roland cube x20 and Im really interested in code for an upgrade.

@Mark Seymour playing without a gate only sounds bad when I stop playing.I guess if not playing live it doesn't matter as much.Anyway cool dude.
Thank you. 🙏
Sounds great
is it possible to line out from headphones?
Yeah can plug it into an interface with a splitter cable (single TRS stereo jack to 2 mono jacks) 👍
Like most of these amps, some of the sounds are good-others not so much. It’s tough to accurately emulate a stack with a 10” speaker.
The cab simulations of code series amps are only meant to be used for headphone/usb out
TOP VIDEO !!!!
Nicely done. I have the Code 100 Combo. Still finding my sound lol

Why are you using cab simulation on this amp?
Thats only should be turned on when you're not using the internal speaker of this amp.

Marshall CODE 25 or Fender Mustang lt25??
Code for me 👍
What was the 1st song played at the beginning of the video🙏💗👌
It's my own little ditty based on some Jimi Hendrix songs (Wind Crys May etc.)
how do i stop the stupid feedback fizzy noise when I palm mute with high distortion... or play any note for that matter
Hold the button that says "amp", press the button "preset" to change the gate setting, and turn it up to where it stops.
2:13 is this a real song?
do you need a smart phone/apps for this amp to set up mods?
You can edit mods on the amp by holding the mod switch down then pressing the preset button to scroll and change each parameter 👍
What song 1:05?
Хороший обзор
Could it Code 25 record a sound directly from amps ?
Yes, has a line out 👍
U think this marshall in the 100w model is good for live playing? Or should i go for a boss katana 100?
Both are great go with which ever you want
Is this better or blackstar silverline
Does this have preset modes like a processor or something?
Yeh has tons of presets and youcan build your own and save them 👍
Well, for the price it has it better sound good
But , what if you don't own a phone ?
What is the name of the app
Marshall Gateway 👍
i didn’t get a usb lead with mine?
Doesn’t come with one
6:51 what song?
4:03 What song??
Cell Mate - Twin Atlantic 👍
