Hi,
We've recently replaced a F3.13A 240V fast blow fuse in a Peavey Valveking amp, with a slow blow S3.15A 240V, due to incorrect advice.
The original fuse blew.
Is this going to negatively effect the amp at all?
After using the slow blow fuse for an hour or so, the amp volume faded out then produced no sound at all. This is when we noticed we had been told to use the incorrect fuse.
The fuse has not blown and the amp still has power.
Basically I'm wanting to know whether the installation of the slow instead of the fast blow could have damaged the amps internals, or whether there was an existing issue that caused the original fuse to blow in the first place?
Thanks
