Yes, listened to some Magellan 350 demos earlier, could possibly make a an exception on the fan if it’s as quiet as people say as it sounds promising and has the right features.. so far I’m also zeroing in on the Eich T300 and the GR Bass One 350

 

The earlier Tecamp Puma 900 is more powerful than the T300 (current equivalent is the Eich T900 but that may have a fan, later Tecamps did, but they were very quiet).

Final questions for @Hellzero and the other GR Bass one users: can you confirm that there is an input clip light? The manual says that it is the power LED on the right hand side but I’ve not seen it demonstrated in any demos.

Similarly the manual states that the various LED settings have a VU meter mode (which could be useful) but in reality this seems to be more of an aesthetic light show.

Yes, there's an input clipping LED, it's next to the master on its left.

 

It turns red when the input signal is clipping and depending on the output level of your instrument, sometimes, the input gain must be set high, after noon position (very low output passive instruments in Pure Mode, for instance).

 

It's number 17 in the manual.
