Noisy fan on my Ampeg

[Dubs]

The fan at the front of my SVT-CL is a bit noisy (I know this is quite normal) but I was wondering if there’s any way I can change it for a silent fan cos it can be a bit annoying. Does anyone know how/if it could be done and what fan I should use?

I'd get a look at the label on the fan, which ought to tell you at the very least what voltage you need (not to mention the physical size of the fan - wouldn't like to speculate on that). You might be able to find its specs online via a model number to give you an idea of speed (RPM) and airflow (CFM) you'd need from a replacement fan. The typical fan info online often lists noise too (dBA) and so you can hopefully find something that pushes a similar amount of air for less noise.

You could speak to panic music in Swavesey which is near Cambridge.
They are Ampeg service agents or were last time I used them.

You should think yourself lucky that your fans are making a nuisance of them selves, I'm lucky if they stop drinking thier pints noramlly!

cheers for the info, I might have to give Panic Music a call later on to see if they can offer advice and possibly sell me a fan
