Mesa Boogie Subway D 800 cooling fan noise

Ran the Ashdown Retroglide now for three days bedroom level ( not continuous playing ! ) but longest about two and a half hours with the fan switched off , did not even get warm .

Nice not having the noise .

I’ve played mine very loud into 4ohms for a few hours on many gigs, always stone cold externally (with fan).  Not even the slightest warm spot on the case.  Can’t imagine the noise you’d have to make to reach a thermal shutdown 😜😬🔊🤫

If anyone really can't live with the noise of their amp when playing at home, the only options are to buy an amp without a fan, or a headphone amp.

 

Or longer cables, and keep the amplifier outside the room. It does seem like a faff, but a friend of mine did that for his recordings at home and it was quite good (the amplifier controls don't really get tweaked much during a session), and minimal £££ investment.
