Marshall · amplifier
The Marshall CODE 100 is a 100-watt digital modeling combo with a single 12-inch speaker, combining Marshall's amp and cabinet models with effects in an affordable, gig-capable package. It emulates classic and modern Marshall voicings from Plexi to JVM alongside a range of pedal and studio effects, all editable from the amp or a companion app over Bluetooth. It is aimed at practicing and gigging players who want many tones from one lightweight box.
