### 4/5 — Tone

*2026-05-29, version 2.1.9*

I have the code 100 and it’s genuinely a good amp with some kick to it. But it can definitely use some adjustments with tone options in the app. It almost seems like every tone I make sounds the same, it’s hard for me being a metal guitarist trying to get a good heavy tone when the options are very limited. There should be more pedal options like a EQ pedal or even  an EQ option somewhere else in the app for your tone. There could also definitely be more pedal options like being able to create your own with whatever you want. I feel like that would bring more variety for tone and more freedom aswell as some more fun and also even more tones to be made. Not sure if this is possible but maybe even collaborating with BOSS to bring some of their pedals and other products onto the app. Other than the tone being limiting, it’s a decent amp and is great for gigs, practice and also for bedroom playing.

### 3/5 — Urge Actualizaciones

*2026-04-02, version 2.1.9*

Urge nuevas actualizaciones!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-23, version 2.1.9*

Terrible app makes you want to throw out your phone put the window. Cant even log in

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2025-12-30*

It works just as shown easy to use

### 1/5 — Dont buy a Code amp!!!

*2025-12-02, version 2.1.9*

I was excited to get the code 100, a Marshall made modeling amp? Exactly what I was waiting for. I found it very versatile and easy to use ESPECIALLY WITH THE PHONE APP.  Marshall just walked away from it and discontinued support. It got bad reviews but I imagine that most of them were karens that were too lazy to figure it out. The general case with most modeling amps. Anyway if the system gets corrupted you are out.  Moving on…

### 1/5 — Account sign up

*2025-11-08, version 2.1.9*

This apps sign in process is horrible can’t make an account and I go to forget my password to try log in with a new password in my emails but I never get the emails

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-11-04*

I tried for about 2 hours to get this app to work.  I was able to connect to my amp for about a total of 5 minutes- enough to scroll through settings.  This does not work, does not stay connected, and is VERY buggy.  Marshall, you need to remove this from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Kk

*2025-10-31, version 2.1.9*

Cuando intento registrarme no me llega el Mail de confirmación un desastre de aplicacion la verdad y no hacen nada para arreglarlo

### 4/5 — Good but lacking

*2025-08-05*

Would be nice to have a EQ and use other pedals and move presets from saved to the 100 available but other than that it’s a pretty good app with a good tuner

### 1/5 — Aşırı eski

*2025-07-23, version 2.1.9*

Arayüz kullanış herşey çok kötü
