this is a total Dummy 101 question, but i have wondered: if you take a pilot lamp or cooling fan or something out of a circuit, do you need to worry about elevated currents in other parts of the amp?
specifically, i have mentioned before that i have a '70s traynor amp which has a big noisy ugly fan installed; i plan on inverting the head and using it "open air" so i'm not worried about cooling. but i am worried about the noisy fan; it is really annoying.
my question is, can i simply clip the fan out of the circuit with no worries, or would i need to attend to something else if i do so? i am just confused as to where that current which was alloted for the fan would go if i clipped the fan out...
similarly, i would maybe like to replace the LED pilots in other amps with incandesent ones(yeah i know, more juice. i just hate the harsh look of leds. and if you turn your head fast enough you can see the 60hz "strobe" effect).
