WELCOME TO CODE
CODE’s control knobs adjust GAIN, BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE and VOLUME. 
Because these settings are stored as part of a Preset, the control knobs are 
inactive until used. This means that until they are turned their position is not 
related to their setting within a Preset.
CONTROLS
You can QUICK STORE your setting changes at any point by pressing and 
holding down the EXIT/STORE switch. 
CAUTION: When you use QUICK STORE, the existing Preset will be overwritten 
with your setting changes.
When you turn a control knob it becomes active. The display screen will 
show the name and edited setting of whichever control you are using - 
this value will change up and down as you turn the control knob.
The value shown above the edited setting is the stored setting.
!
Your adjusted settings will remain active until you move off the 
current Preset. When you return to that Preset its settings will have 
reverted back to what is stored.
!
GETTING STARTED
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position.

What is a Preset?
A Preset is a group of amplier & speaker models, with tonal settings and FX: 
Chorus, Delay, Reverb etc, stored to a single location within your CODE 
amplier’s memory. This is like a ‘snapshot’ of the whole amplier’s settings 
(excluding MASTER volume), which can be recalled using the PRESET 
selector, the Marshall Gateway™ App, the 2-way footswitch (supplied) or with 
the CODE footcontroller (PEDL-91009, sold separately).  
Exploring Presets
Turn the PRESET selector to explore CODE’s factory Presets.
