My Biggest Fan

[greenduke]

All my power amps get a compressor assist clean-blow out yearly. Some also have dampener, directional baffles that direct air flow across heat sinks and other components. They can deteriorate over time or become dislodged and need to be checked.
You should always clean the fan blades as well, dirty ones shorten the lifespan and can cause unbalanced noise/bearing issues.
Stored electronic components can be subject to potentiometer issues if not in low humidity, temp controlled environments, they can oxidize and cause intermittent signal path issues.

How did you guys get into my house....

Why would i need a fun switch, if i can control the volume with my volume knob.

The Classic 400 has always had a factory installed, always on fan. This goes back to revision A docs. IMO, it's needed to meet safety agency approvals as there's a lot of heat generated even idling (out of standby)

Running the fan has no downside. Not running it has a potentially huge downside.

Run the fan.

Advice: listen to agedhorse.
No sarcasm meter on this.

Ok so the member that bought one new without a fan had an early model? @Thornton Davis ? I've heard of a couple of people with fanless models now hence my confusion.....

Good question, perhaps rev. A was the first that had a safety agency approval and there was an earlier revision. I don't recall ever seeing one without a fan, but I haven't seen many regardless.

Crap, I had one just like that... in my old house, not my bass amp.

This is why we love you... when a situation, such as this, reaches critical mass, your voice of reason paves the road to hilarity...

(Wish I would have thought of it .)

I like to think I'm creative when a challenge arises. I give you: a mid-summer gig at a horse ranch.

But that is blowing all your sound right off the stage. You won't hear a thing.

Well the classic has a full day of work ahead practice and backline for multiple acts. Fan on I promise........

Haven’t had a truck trailer gig in a long time. That pic brings back some fond memories...

The way I play, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Couple of sidenotes:

*That's on the outskirts of the Great Dismal Swamp. We were half-expecting a bear to emerge and drag one of us off.

*That is a killer (albeit heavy!) bass rig...I kinda miss it.
