Marshall Gateway 4+

Overall Okay

The app does its job however the saving of new presets is not totally intuitive. Also any new presets you create will not be organized by numerical or alphabetical order so finding them can occasionally be a pain. How does that make any sense?

Can’t update firmware to 1.47

Bluetooth doesn’t work. No USB cord included. Looks like a very old type of USB. Used an old Roku USB but won’t connect. I read reviews from 2 yrs ago where developer says to update firmware to 1.47. I just got this a week ago. Why doesn’t it ship with 1.47? Very disappointed. No way to use the app. Amp does sound beautiful though. Sad.

Update: I found another old mini-USB that worked properly. Had to download Edge browser for Win8 even though I have Win7.
ALSO: Nowhere are there directions to hold down REV & POWER buttons simultaneously to pair with iPhone Bluetooth, but that’s what worked. That is such an important feature of the amp that you’d think there’d be at least a sticker on the amp to tell you that. Geez. Anyway, got it all working, updated firmware, sounds great. Changed my rating from 1 star to 4. It would’ve been 5 stars if you guys provided some decent documentation.

Update?

This update features smaller type and fewer features. Where's the tuner? It wasn't great but it got you in the ballpark. Also if you're going to update firmware for the amp the one thing that needs fixing the most is the gap when switching presets or preamp. There's no delay in engaging the "pedals" so what is the difference to a computer program when engaging a different preset or preamp?

Developer Response ,

Sorry, tuner is currently unavailable in the new Gateway app. We think there are better tuners available on the App Store. But we may bring it back depending on how many users would be interested in it.
