Marshall Code 25

I'm thinking of ordering a Code 25 for my mate as a Christmas present but am unsure wether they're much cop or not? Would it make a good gift or are they all hype? I don't want to end up giving him a paper weight!

I've played on one belonging to @alnico that I was quite impressed with.

Big sound for such a small amp as well, I've seriously considered picking one up.

That's a pretty good recommendation, thank you for the link. I thought I'd better buy early in case they're hard to get nearer the time.

Sorry about that, do you still want it wrapped?   
I've just got to not give in to temptation and open it to try it out!

Just got one today
My first amp and went with it over a DSL5. I know the DSL would be a better amp long term but as im just learning i thought the ability to partly mimic various amps would let me find 'my sound' while learning and a few months down the line go get a better amp. 

Doing the same with guitars. Started with a Vintage V100 AFD and will probably get a few more Vintage made types to see what i prefer before fully commiting to a expensive guitar

^good choice! I think I'd take a Code over a DSL5 tbh. You'll get much more usable tones at home and like you say you can experiment to find out which one you want if/when you're looking to go up to the real deal.
