Title: A couple of quick, dumb questions Post by: The Duck Of Hellfire on July 14, 2009, 05:21:54 AM Just bought an OTS second hand and love it. The fuse on the back panel seems to have blown. The questions- Is the fuse a 2.0 slo-blow fuse? AND is it the same size fuse physically as the standard fuse used in Fender amps? Any suggestions on where to get replacements in the US online? Thanks in advance and sorry for the knuckle head questions. :-[

There are two fuses, at least on my OTS, one is a 1/2 amp fast blow which is underneath the chassis on the left side near the power transformer, it is a standard size fuse, the other on the back panel of the chassis is a 2.0 slo-blow fuse and it is the shorter size fuse. Both were available at Radio Shack.

All amps are surge protected but my OTS is the only one that went down. She'll be off to the shop once payday comes.

Mine blew every time I turned it on when I bought it. I believe that I replaced it with a 1 or 2 amp.
Good luck! Title: Re: A couple of quick, dumb questions Post by: pine on July 20, 2009, 05:24:18 PM Come to think of it I think I have a 1 amp in the HT fuse socket as well
