Amplifier Fuse

[Hydesg]

Hi
my amplifier fuse just broke.
have to replace it.

any idea under what conditions would the fuse in the amplifier break?
is it because of its age? like 2 yrs old?

i was playing my tube amp for about an hr
and it just shut down totally.

realised that the fuse is arleady broken

a tube amp?

fuses break when its overloaded, like a power surge etc. just swap the fuse for a new one and youre ready to go

there was an earlier power failure in the house tho
i wonder if its the problem
where can i get fuses?

its the smaller sized one

go sim lim tower ....bring along your blown fuse ...
its should be 2 to 3 amps tops ..

fuse can be bought @ hardware shops, eg: Selfix, just get the correct value for your amp. i always buy from Selfix 8)
