cooling fan for guitar amp
Hi guys
It gets hot in Australia also and I have researched a solution. The old Fender amps had power plugs in the back of them and if you look at old films like "Woodstock the movie" you can see that they used these plugs to power big freestanding fans. Why use tiny little fans in hot weather or hot conditions when you can place a big fan behind your gear. Keep your equipment and yourself cool. tony.r http://www.ncable.com.au/~tony.r/ |

I don't know that it really helped much though, I never burnt anything up with or without the fan. |

There should be plenty of outlets around...eh.. ? ? One of the drummers I gig with has his OWN power strip and four fans, two of which have big 'clips' on them to clip here and there. He has all these fans blowin on him to keep HIM cool..! ! ! (he IS a hot drummer...! ! ) It would be easy enough to use a small 'clip-on' fan, clip it onto the back of the amp, the handle, or the back of a combo, and plug it into any available outlet. Aim the fan at the area of the amp to be cooled. Of course this might not be the fix for a closed back cab/combo... and while not that 'elegant', it may be plenty effective. I have a fan that I use in my garage on hot summer days. It's about 5" in dia. and on the end of a 'flex' mount, with a spring-clip for a 'base'. I can clip it on to most anything and bend/twist it to move air where I want. Just my 5 centimes... gtski |
