I wonder if there is some manufacturing spread? I would describe my Gnome as whisper quiet and certainly quieter than any other amp I've owned, you should hear my Peavey taking off. At last years SW Bass Bash we looked at all three of the micro amps, we were looking at frequency responses and tone controls so not specifically the fans but I didn't notice any differences at the time.

That's interesting. My Gnome certainly isn't whisper quiet.  I wonder if there's any simple checks I could do to establish if the fan is working correctly?  It's not that quiet but nor does it sound like it's not functioning correctly - no noises that sound like interference or anything.

Based on the reports there seems to be some manufacturing spread indeed. I had one of the loud ones which was very intrusive for practice in an apartment - full tilt right when powered up. Maybe a controller issue? For reference, the TecAmp Puma is much quieter in the same setting.

Is anyone using the QSC CP12? I still think this would be significantly more powerful than say a Ashdown Rootmaster 112 combo which I was looking at.

Yes, the CP12 is my 'Jazz Setup' and it has served me well for rehearsals and small gigs. I plug in via passive DI or a Palmer Pocket Pre if I need to shape the tone. Portability has proven itself on train/subway/bus.
