(Gibson) Mesa Triple Rectifier with a fan?

[Simon Dorn]

Did any of you notice, that they use a fan now in at least the Triple?
Don't know what to think of that....

So long as it's not just to make up for lessor quality parts

They always have on the MW Triple. They claimed it was a requirement of the government safety agency, whatever it is called.

That doesn't look like a two channel, this is their reissue?

Can’t be. Has a 2015 date written on it

No, it's "new".

 

[Simon Dorn]

Not a Fan.

No it is not a new thing. They have been that way since 2010 when the multi-watt series was released. I have proof sitting right next to me, and mine is a 2011 custom ordered straight from Petaluma. When they redesigned the model for the MW/reborn series the safety agency demanded the fan for the triple, but not the dual.

Oh ok, you found the Mesa explanation.

Not in Europe.

 

[dave74]

Not in Europe.

OK, I understand now.

 

[Holy-diver]

All the mw triples I have had included a fan, all were “pre Gibson.”

 

[BeZo]

Not a Fan.

Yes it is.

 

[Simon Dorn]

Yes it is.

I'm not.

Mine didn't. I just guess the european versions didn't have a fan. Now they do.

 

[soundchaser]

Not in Europe.

I have a fan in my Mark IVb combo, although not on the chasis.

 

[soundchaser]

Fans are a good thing, look at Bonamassa

"I use....JJ's. They're fine."

Should make a whole thread about this one.
