MST modelling recreates the tonal and sonic characteristics of some of the most successful and respected amplier preamps from the past fty plus years.JTM45™The JTM45 was the rst Marshall amplier. It was made in 1962 by Jim Marshall and his small team of engineers in a workshop at his music store in Hanwell, London. This 30 Watt two channel amplier began a revolution that changed forever the sound of rock and blues music. The JTM45 is still made today as part of the Vintage Re-Issue™ Series and Handwired™ Series. 1962 Bluesbreaker™The 1962 Bluesbreaker was the rst combo made by Marshall. Launched in 1965, it had two 12” speakers with an output of 30 Watts. The 1962 was famously used by Eric Clapton on the inuential blues album ‘John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers’ in 1966 – hence the 1962’s ‘Bluesbreaker’ nickname. The 1962 Bluesbreaker is still made today as part of the Vintage Re-Issue Series™ and Handwired™ Series. 1959™ Plexi™To the minds and ears of many, the 100 Watt Super Lead heads of the mid to late 1960s are the holy grail of great rock tone. Being non-master-volume, when cranked, the 1959 power valves overdrive producing highly responsive, harmonically rich tones. The 1959 amplier is still made today as part of the Vintage Re-Issue Series™ and Handwired™ Series. JCM800 2203™The 2203 is one of the most important ampliers Marshall has ever made. It evolved in the ‘70s from the JMP and 1959 Plexi heads. In the ‘80s the 2203 became the JCM800 2203 we know today: a straightforward single channel amplier that was favoured by the heavy metal scene that dominated much of that decade. Its popularity remained well into the ‘90s with the emergence of Grunge and Britpop, and it’s still revered today and is considered the benchmark by which modern all metal ampliers are measured. JCM2555™ Silver Jubilee™The 25/50 Silver Jubilee Series was created in 1987 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of Marshall Amplication and 50 years of Jim Marshall being in the music business. Based on the JCM800 2203 and 2204™ Master Volume models, Silver Jubilee ampliers had a special preamp circuit that featured three gain ‘modes’ which were Clean, Rhythm Clip and a switchable Lead Channel. The 2555 was the 100 Watt head in the Jubilee series, which was a limited edition. By popular demand the JCM2555 was re-issued as the 2555X™ in 2015. JCM2000™ DSL100™Launched in 1997, the JCM2000 Dual Super Lead’s ‘dual mode’ design meant that guitarists could choose either a Clean or Crunch tone from the Classic Gain Channel, whilst the Ultra Gain Channel provided two lead sounds: Lead 1 & Lead 2. This tonal versatility was aided by the Deep and Tone Shift features. It is the JCM2000 DSL100’s tonal range and versatility that made it massively popular in its day, so much so, that its legacy lives on in the current DSL Series. MARSHALL AMPLIFIER HISTORYENGLISHAMPLIFIER HISTORY (CONT.)JVM410H™When the JVM410H launched in 2006 it caused quite a stir. This 100 Watt head is an all-valve tonal monster that has four channels, each with three modes: Green, Orange and Red, offering guitarists a range of 12 unique tones. Each mode recongures the channel gain stages in order to develop different amounts of gain and tone. The JVM410H’s vast tonal spectrum makes it the most versatile amplier Marshall has ever made, used by many professional players.ENGLISHGETTING STARTEDTo begin using CODE: • Ensure that the power ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position (#14 in this manual). • Connect the supplied power cord to the MAINS INPUT (#24 in this manual) before plugging into the mains electricity supply. • If using the CODE100H head, connect the supplied speaker cable to the speaker cabinet and to the SPEAKER jack socket on the amplier’s rear panel (#26 in this manual). • Plug your guitar cable into the amplier INPUT jack socket (#2 in this manual). • Set the MASTER volume control to zero (#8 in this manual). • Turn the amplier ON using the ON/OFF switch. • Gradually turn the MASTER up to your desired volume level. • Turn the PRESET selector to explore your CODE amplier’s factory Presets (#9 in this manual).POWER AMPLIFIERSMST modelling recreates four classic and vintage valve power output topologies. A valve power stage is a vital part of an all-valve amplier’s sound and its tonal character. SPEAKER CABINETSMarshall speaker cabinets are perhaps as famous as Marshall ampliers. The iconic 4 x 12” design has changed little since Jim Marshall designed the rst one in 1965. Since then the Marshall 4 x 12” has become the touchstone for all other speaker cabinets. MST modelling recreates the sonic characteristics of eight classic Marshall speaker cabinets, including a variety of 4 x 12”, 2 x 12” & 1 x 12” speaker congurations. Marshall speaker cabinets differ not only in their speaker congurations, but in the speakers that they use, how they are wired and the size of the cabinet.

INPUTUse this jack socket to connect your guitar to the amplier. Use a good quality screened/shielded guitar cable to help prevent noise interference. 3. GAINControls the amount of GAIN introduced to a Preset. The higher the GAIN, the harder the preamp is driven.4. BASSTurning the BASS control will adjust the warmth and low-end depth of your sound. 5. MIDDLEAdjusting the MIDDLE control will vary the amount of body in your sound by boosting or cutting midrange frequencies. 6. TREBLEIncreasing the TREBLE will make your sound brighter and more cutting. Turning the TREBLE down will decrease tonal edge and make the sound softer. 7. VOLUMEControls the volume level within a selected Preset. Because GAIN, BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE & VOLUME are stored as part of a Preset, these panel tone controls only become active when they are used. This means that until they are turned their position is not related to their setting within a Preset. When you turn a tone control it becomes active. The display screen will show its current setting and the stored setting. When a GAIN, BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE or VOLUME control is activated the EXIT/STORE LED will ash red to show that the Preset’s stored settings have changed.10 131 143 4 5 6 1223 11ENGLISH!!7 89

PRE FXThis is where you will nd FX that would typically plug into a conventional amplier setup between the guitar and the amplier’s input. These FX would typically be in pedal form, and also known as ‘stompboxes’. The ‘stompbox’ FX in the PRE FX section are:CompressorCompressor affects an audio signal’s dynamic range. CODE’s compressor decreases, or ‘compresses’, any part of your guitar sound that peaks above a certain threshold. Any part of your guitar sound that remains below the threshold is unaffected. Compressor can add clarity and consistency to your guitar sound whether clean or overdriven. Compressor’s editable parameters are:‘STOMPBOX’ FXA:>>|<<A:>>|<<ENGLISHPARAMETER VALUE RANGE DESCRIPTIONTone 0 - 10 Adjusts the Compressor’s higher and lower frequencies.Ratio 0 - 10 Controls how much Compression is applied to a signal above the threshold.Compression 0 - 10 Adjusts the point at which Compression is applied to the signal.Level 0 - 10 Controls the overall volume level of the Compressor.DistortionCODE’s stompbox Distortion’s three Modes simulate solid-state Distortion and Overdrive FX pedals. GUV Mode is a Marshall Guv’nor™ with Drive and Tone controls. ODR & DIS Modes provide avours of classic overdrive and distortion stompboxes. Stompbox Distortion is particularly effective when used with classic and vintage MST preamp models to provide more drive and sustain. Distortion’s editable parameters are:PARAMETER VALUE RANGE DESCRIPTIONMode GUV, ODR & DIS Marshall Guv’nor, Classic OD pedal & Classic Distortion pedal.Drive 0 - 10 Controls the amount of Overdrive or Distortion applied to the signal.Tone 0 - 10 Adjusts the amount of upper mid and higher frequency content in the Overdrive or Distortion before the signal reaches the amplier panel tone controls.

Set to zero for a single pitch shifted tone.Mix 0 - 10 Adjusts the balance between the guitar signal and the generated note.Auto WahAuto Wah is a dynamic lter, similar to a Wah Wah pedal. A Wah Wah pedal has a ‘rocker’ footplate to control the frequency at which the lter operates. Auto Wah has no ‘rocker’ footplate, so in ENV Mode the rocker automation responds to input level. In LFO Mode the rocker motion is fully automated. Auto Wah’s editable parameters are:PARAMETER VALUE RANGE DESCRIPTIONMode ENV & LFO Envelope Filter & Low Frequency Oscillator.Frequency 0 - 10 Controls the resting frequency, or fully closed posi-tion, of the Wah, thereby setting how far the lter opens when playing.Sensitivity 0 - 10 ENV Mode: Controls how much the Wah opens in relation to the pick attack.LFO Mode: Controls the speed at which the Wah opens and closes.

AMPAMP is short for preamp. MST modelling faithfully recreates classic and modern Marshall valve tones as well as other famous valve amp tones. Each AMP model creates an authentic preamp setting. The MST preamp models are classied into three groups: Clean, Crunch & Overdrive. Your CODE amplier’s MST preamp models are:The Natural preamp is designed to be used with external FX without the tonal colour of an MST modelled preamp. It provides EQ for tonal shaping and access to the Gate.If the noise Gate is applied, when your sound level drops below the set threshold it will activate, preventing any signal below that threshold from passing through. It progressively attenuates the guitar signal, following its dynamics, to suppress unwanted noise.
