I attempted to connect through the bluetooth option t try to get better options and it wouldn't connect. It was rather intuitive as far as adjusting and changing sounds though. I got into the 40s and was starting to like it okay when the sweatshirt fell off and I remembered how horrid it sounded. I put a thick sweatshirt over the front (2 layers) and it was doing okay, that fixed the sound.

I tried to dial out these tones with EQ and it didn't happen. The amp was super bright, super sharp and anything with distortion was muddy on the low strings. I started to run through the presets from 00 up and got into the high 20s before I found anything even slightly acceptable. I put it on the studio alongside another of my usual amps and played it with 6 different guitars (tele, strat, lp, 7 string, hot super strat and a warm alnico 2 equipped super strat). The Marshall CODE 50 - it's loud, its got a huge sound and there are a lot of variances in the tones and options. I won't say this sounds like a tube or doesn't sound like a tube, I will only speak of how good the tone is. There is a tube warmth or sound to many of them but they don't sound all the same just like all solid states or hybrids don't sound the same and not all tubes (price/size/etc) are better than all SS. I have played many brands, even some really extensive and expensive all hand wired ones and when someone blankets 'tube tone' its not accurate either. I have spent time with a lot of tube amps (and when I say time I mean more than a day or two hanging out at guitar center).
#BOSS KATANA 50 REVIEWS HOW TO#
I want to preface this as to why I say 'honest' - I recently bought a Marshall Code based on the reviews I found but once I had it and started to dig deeper into how to get it to function I found a whole lot of additional information.
