Hundreds of Classic Marshall Amp/Cab Combinations

The Marshall Code 50 packs decades of classic Marshall sounds into a travel-friendly combo amp. Browse over 100 presets for instant inspiration at home or on the road, or mix and match digitally modeled Marshall preamps, power amps, and speaker cab emulations to customize convincing tones for the stage and studio. With 50 watts and a full-voiced 12" speaker, the Marshall Code 50 is right at home onstage for club gigs and worship services. And for some quick stress relief at the office, a silent headphone amp delivers signature Marshall crunch right to your ears without disturbing coworkers.

Re-creates decades of classic Marshall preamp/power amp/speaker cab combinations

Mix and match 14 preamps, 4 power amps, and 8 speaker cab emulations to craft the perfect tone for any tune: from sparkling clean to vintage Marshall crunch to high-gain metal mayhem. Then add any of 24 digital FX like creamy reverb, shimmery chorus, or classic overdrive pedal models and save for instant recall at practice or onstage. Sweetwater knows that guitarists of all levels will enjoy cycling through the Code 50's presets or customizing their dream Marshall stack on the spot.

Can be controlled remotely via USB or Bluetooth

The innovative folks at Marshall found a way to let you customize any tone setting in the Code 50 without getting off the couch. Adjustments can be made via USB using the included Marshall Gateway software, or over Bluetooth with the handy mobile app. With this feature you can let the sound engineer change your amp tones at will from offstage, or you can dial in the perfect recorded tone when your Code 50 is out in the live room.

Aux input with headphone out for silent jamming and recording

More than a stage amp, the Marshall Code 50 doubles as a useful practice and recording tool at home. An auxiliary input lets you plug in your phone or MP3 player and jam along, which really comes in handy for learning cover songs and practicing solos. A headphone out doubles as both an option for silent practice and as a natural-sounding output to run straight into your recording platform.

Marshall Code 50 Modeling Guitar Amplifier Combo Features:

  • 50 watts with a 12-inch speaker — good for club gigs and practices
  • 14 preamp models include classics like the JCM800, Bluesbreaker Plexi, and Silver Jubilee
  • 4 power amp models for vintage and modern British and American tones
  • 8 different speaker emulations for a tight 1 x 12-inch to a beefy 4 x 12-inch
  • 24 digital effects to inspire new amp tones
  • Auxiliary input for jamming along with music
  • Headphone output for silent practice and direct recording

This is the coolest amp I have ever owned

I've been having so much fun with this amp, it is extremely versatile and sounds amazing

Pros:
Easy to use
Easy to setup
Looks Great

Cons:
None

Additional Notes:
It is a little tedious getting to work with Cakewalk or Audacity via USB audio. Also you can choose to output your PC/Mac sound via USB, and if you have your phone connected via Bluetooth, sound output will go to the Code if you don't set your phone otherwise.
Rated 5/5

Wicked

Before buying this amp I read just about all the reviews carefully. I have to say I was a bit intimidated as I've only had simple Marshall amps. 72 100 watt, & JCM800 Half stacks, and a 2000 valve state combo. Once I got the iPad hooked to it, it became much easier to get started. I love this thing. You do have to know your marshal preferences to make it sound right, but they made it super simple. With a good guitar this little amp is the perfect practice amp. It has plenty of power. The only thing so far I'm not digging is the way the music from the iPad sounds, the 12" doesn't work for that as far as I can tell. It's hard to mix the volumes of the guitar with the music.

My first real Guitar Amp

I really love it. Seems like a lot to learn at first, and it is ha, but is amazing. I'm not the smart phone everything person but, having the app on the phone saves time for setting things up. Is easier than dialing through all the setting trying to find one on the amp itself. On the app, you can easily see what you looking for. I also got the foot pedal so I can preset what I want. Having a website with custom presets is freaking great and that you can download them into the amp is so sweet. Getting ready to try the amp with my own pedals to see how it works. And above all!!!! Is a Marshall! Louder than loud! It doesn't go to 11 but, I can live with it. Ha ha

Hmmmmmmm.....Not Sure

Overall I like the amp. Love that I can connect and make changes via Bluetooth. I'm a novice player, and to me the amp sounds muffled. I bought a amp stand to put it on and that seemed to help a bit. My son loves it. Myself, not so much. Other than sound, I don't care for the controls on the top. I knew that going in though, so that's on me. I don't like that the front can't be removed. I like looking at the raw speaker(s) in amps/speakers/etc.

Hindsight being 20/20, I wish I would have went with something different. Thankfully, my son enjoys it, since he will use it a lot more than I ever will.

Price(decent)
Sound(a bit disappointing, I expected better being Marshall)
Controls(need to be on front of cab)
Looks(panel needs to be removable)
Music background: Amature

Code 50

This amp exceeds all of my expectations it's awesome

There are countless "British"-style guitar amplifiers out there, but take it from the lifelong guitarists and tone connoisseurs at Sweetwater, when it comes to Marshall tone, there's nothing like the real thing. We've played them all, from vintage JTM45s and the ultra-cool Plexi reissue to modern handmade masterpieces such as the JVM410. There isn't a model among them we can't recommend with total confidence, and that includes their more affordable models too, like MG, DSL, and Code series amps. Thanks to our tight relationship with Marshall, Sweetwater's always on the cutting edge of their latest designs, custom models, and limited-edition gems. If you want iconic tone from across the pond, you want Marshall, and your Sweetwater Sales Engineer will help you find the perfect one.
