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.

Where did you get that screwdriver? I want one!

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.

Hey hey! Could you put up a link to which fan you bought as a replacement?!

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