: : I bought a SWR Redhead recently. The fan used to run all the time, even when playing at low levels. Now I haven't heard it run in several days. I never it play it more than about 20% of volume because it goes into a PA system.
: : How can I tell if the fan is out? Will it hurt the amp if I play at low volumes?
If you don't hear the fan anymore, you can assume it needs to be replaced. You can do this yourself
if you have any electronics experience.
the fan itself is relatively cheap, but the damage done by not properly cooling the amp will not.
I know this because I melted a large part of my circuit board by not fixing a cooling fan.
Good luck.
