    I Hate My Fingers

    A girl once asked me why the nails on my right thumb, middle and ring finger were long, but all the others were short. Told her I played guitar and she said "that's so cool". I had a groupie!

    To Code Or Not To Code!

    That does make sense, I have seen PC boards crack and things become un-soldered, like the battery clips on GM keyless entry remotes for example. I should probably search some pics to get a better idea how both are made.

    To Code Or Not To Code!

    What is the benefit of a chassis? The only thing I can think of is heat dissipation, but does SS generate that much heat? Mount components to chassis, mount chassis to MDF. Mount components to MDF. What's the difference?

    New Marshall CODE digital amp series

    My LG phone wasn't compatible due to the screen resolution. Could be your issue.

    New Marshall CODE digital amp series

    Didn't have much time last night, but on a JCM800 / Classic Marshall 100W patch, I was able to make the shorting buzz artifact come and go by raising and lowering the threshold, in this case about the 1.9 level. The gain of the amp and/or pedal also had an effect so that 1.9 is no magic number...

    New Marshall CODE digital amp series

    I managed to dial up a couple of patches that don't "short out". When I get home tonight I'll see if I can figure out what does the trick, because I have some patches that are almost identical where one will have the decay buzz and another won't.

    New Marshall CODE digital amp series

    I think I've had luck getting rid of that "shorting out " (good description) sound by turning the noise gate WAY down.

    Marshall Code " Patch " Sharing ( Longhand For Now )

    Marshall should send James a CODE 100 head when they're available. I'm serious.

    Code 25 - Anyone As Disappointed As Me?

    I was very close to getting a Blackstar ID:30 TVP when I heard about Code. So I waited 6 months and got the 50. Now I'm having second thoughts.

    New Marshall CODE digital amp series

    Just got the "pedal in stock" E-mail from Sweetwater but I don't know if I'm still interested. All three of the distortion modes (some more than others) create a harsh, garbled noise that becomes more noticeable as the note fades. I've been tweaking the amp for a month, I've turned down the gate...

    How To Sound Like Angus At Home

    Thanks crossroadsync and johnac968. I'll try both your suggestions this weekend. I'm a caveman without a home computer, so I'll let you know how I make out when I get back to work Tuesday.

    How To Sound Like Angus At Home

    Thanks, I'll keep trying for that AC/DC tone. It's not that I'm lazy, but I'm starting to think I may have a problem with the distortion pedal circuitry in my CODE. Even dialed down, I get a garbled, buzzy sound, especially as a note fades. Not giving up yet.

    How To Sound Like Angus At Home

    Hi, I'm having trouble getting good sound out of my CODE 50. Saw your post #19 in the "longhand for now" thread, but could you be more specific as to your settings for AC/DC? A couple of AC/DC songs are my favorites to (try to) play and this amp is starting to frustrate me. I've never had a tube...

    New Marshall CODE digital amp series

    Just got a Code 50 last night. Tweaking will be an adventure. Want to thank andy k for the breakdown of the presets, looks like a lot of work, appreciate it. I think it will help me get a feel of what does what at what level. Looking forward to people posting their settings for songs/artists...
