Fan noise

[Big Steve]

How loud is the fan in your amp? I have an RM 80 and I can hear the fan 20 feet away. I don't think I could record with this thing. Is this normal or should I think about getting a replacement fan?

You could disconnect the fan for recording.

or mic a remote cab

So are yours pretty loud as well?

The fan in my RM100KH is not loud at all. On occasion, usually the winter months here in Ohio, it makes some noise when I first fire up the amp but it stops after it warms up. No big deal to me though. I use it as an indicator that it the tubes are ready to go.

Dito!!

Sounds to me like I might need a new one then.

Yes sir. This topic has come up before and the fix is to get a quieter fan. Cheap and easy fix. What amp are you running?
