The Nano has an annoyingly loud fan.

I don't find Zhivago annoyingly loud.

Re: Z Vex Nano or THD Univalve?
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.

Re: Z Vex Nano or THD Univalve?
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.

Re: Z Vex Nano or THD Univalve?
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.

Well, if you insist..
My current pedalboard/amp, are being replaced by a line 6 M9, a Boss MT-2 and the Nano.

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.)
