Hello everyone, read this: before replacing a fan, run it aside from the housing! I love the Hartke heads and open them for almost thirty years now. The chassis Mount creates a lot of vibration and acoustic amplification of the fan. If you fan is noisy, try to squish some foamy material between the fan and mounting faces.

Good idea, but that only reduces sympathetic vibrations- in my case, the fan bearings had gone bad and no amount of dampening would have fixed that

Adam, You just convinced me. I have the exact same problem with the exact same amp!!! And I was going to buy a whole new amp, just for that and spend 500-1000$! Until I thought maybe there is a way to fix this by just changong the fan? and then I found your video. It looks really easy to do so i'll give it a try. The only thing is I dont know if i'll find a suitable replacement fan, but.. we'll see. Thank you anyway. You just convinced me

I changed out my cooling fans on my Peavey 450 Max and it no longer sounds like a hovercraft getting ready to take off.

I'm not a fan of the fan in my hartke amp too... It sounds like a microwave.

Can I just lubricate the old one?

Not a good idea, lubricants and voltage can go wrong quickly

@@adamsteelproducer You can actually use special lubricants designed for model train engines BUT once you got your case open why not upgrade anyway. BTW I dont know if you mention it yet but Noctua , who make computer fans and are generally considered the best out there do a 24v range and publish decibel levels and RPM for all their fans.

It would have been nice if you had turned on the old fan first so we could hear what it sounded like

Sure, but the old fan had died entirely, prompting the need for the video. I guess you’ll just have to trust me that it sounded like a small chainsaw

Hi I got a swr 400 working pro amp do you know what fan I could put in it? Got same problem thank you!!!

Hi Andre- sorry but I don’t know! Best things to do would be to find a schematic online that tells you the size and more importantly voltage of your fan, that should then be enough

@@adamsteelproducer Yeah, looking at the same dilemma with my noisy Marshall AVT 150 Valvestate amp fan, although I'm thinking of getting an original fan. Don't want to ruin my amp, I love it for its awesome cleans.

See if they all do that? Send it back for a replacement? If it’s brand new it’s covered under warranty
