Markbass Little Ninja: is fan too loud?

[fdtbass]

Hi,

First of all, I'd like to say hi to everybody as this is my first post here.

I'm thinking of buying a Markbass Little Ninja amp. I'd like to use it also at home for studing and recording, connected via XLR out to an audio interface for the PC, without cab.

Any of you, who have this head, think the fan it's too much noisy for home use? Any other reason which make it not suitable for home use?

Many thanks!

Fit a switch system that disables the fan, and if the power amp still gets hot which is unlikely into open circuit, fit another switch to disconnect the power amp rail voltage.
There is no reason to have a fan to cool the power amp if you don't drive a loudspeaker load.X

If you're using the DI you don't need to worry about fan noise. Markbass amps generally have quiet fans though.

Thanks a lot for the idea but I don't know much about electronics and I don't want to open a newly bought amp

Yeah, that's the plan. Thank you very much for the information!
