Hey Synners! I’ve got a Marshall Code 25 watt amp and I was wondering if you could add pedals while on clean channels. I’m asking this because this is the only Marshall amp I own currently and I wanted to add some effects to that genuine Marshall tone. I don’t see an effects in and out but there is an F/C input for foot switch. If you can add pedals, does anybody have any suggestions that pair well?

F/C is generally going to be for a simple (sometimes proprietary) channel switch.

There are a LOT of amps, especially older ones, that don't have an effects loop. And there are a lot of players that ignore the effects loop anyway to add pedals before the amp, so:

Guitar -----> Various Pedals -----> Amp input.

As far as pedals to add, it depends on what you want to do. Reverb is always a solid one, for me, but others prefer delays. Compressors are nice for when the clean channel is on, and a flangeror phaser if you're a Van Halen fan.

OMG ED! I never thought of that!
Man, I can be such a noob sometimes! I've just always had the effects loop on amps and never thought of running the pedals before the amp, I feel so silly lol.
Thx so much Ed you're the man!

I have a code 50. You can add pedals. The plug in goes to the same input as you would with the guitar. The FC port is for the code pedal. It would allow you to change the presets.

Hi! I have a marshall code 50. I use a footswitch to change the presets, and works fine for me. The rest you can update by your cellphone with the app gateway
