The Nano has an annoyingly loud fan.

I have no experience with either the Z Vex or the THD, but I do have some experience with the Tiny Terror. But my choice would be the Victory RD-1 (or BD-1).
Like the Tiny Terror it won’t give you pristine cleans but rather ”cleanish” at that end of the spectrum. But the overdrive though ... To die for. Love it.

That is not exactly correct. Early ones do, and there is a fan kit that solves that for these units.

In fact, in my Nano thread you can see a step-by-step of how to do this.

You can also completely remove the fan, if you like, and nothing bad will happen to the amp. Zvex even supplies a grill that you can screw on to cover the fan hole.

I traded a couple of pedals for a Nano today, and boy, does it sound good. I dont remember the first one i owned sounding this good. I'm running it through a 6 ohm 2x12 Hi-Tone cab.

The fan is not that loud on this one, not enough to annoy me anyway. Cant hear it while playing.

I mean, the nano is super cool, but I'm still bummed that nobody here is going for the univalve! It's such a killer amp and basically a tweaker/tube nerd's dream.

And my absolutely ridiculous demo from the NAD thread: Z Vex Nano Head & Hahn Model C Together In A Lazy Demo (The Hahn's neck had gone off due to weather changes, so it's buzzy as fuck.)
