Marshall Footswitch Code Serie

Got this to pair with my Marshall code 50 (That amp is another review in itself)

I wanted to cycle through the effects with ease but it was not the case for me with this pedal.

The design is OK pretty plain and is small enough to put away or carry in a backpack.

The set up is a nightmare! I gave up after a while unfortunately. There was a huge delay between pedal press and the effect changing.

I watched countless videos on how to sort this and just spent too long trying to remedy it. Even the set up of the effects was more complicated than it needed to be.

I decided to give up on that and buy a pedal board.The whole point of buying the pedal was to avoid that cost but what do you expect for 60 quid?

If I were you and you didn't want the hassle I'd go for a pedal board or a multi effects pedal (The boss ME50 is good).

In terms of the code itself go have a look at the reviews here if they are stocked on Thomann.

I won't review it here as I purchased it elsewhere.

Other than that as always the pedal came on time and in good condition so thanks Thomann.

These flaws are more so down to the design from Marshall here. @Marshall make this pedal more user friendly!

Sumarry:

-Complicated
-Not functional
-Waste of time more so than money
-Buy a pedal board or a mutlieffects from boss, zoom or Harley Benton

It takes some time to work out how to program the footswitch but once you are through (and wrote it down) it works as expected. Well, nearly. I was disappointed to find out that if I assign the switch assignment in one bank, it does that for all. So although you can link the tuner to a switch, you probably would like to stick to the standard settings of 1=FX, 2=Modulation and 3=Delay (or Reverb if you prefer). It sure is handy when you gig with a Marshall Code. And it works well even with a lousy cable between the Code and the footswitch. Not sure how long the plastic cover will last. For practice, you can survive with the buttons on the Code or the app on your phone as well.
