mikeydee Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Assuming that you mean one of the mains fuses as there are two or more internal fuses that you could be referring to. Fuse is there to limit damage in a fault situation, so when I blows it is either because it is the incorrect rating, and old fuses drift in rating value a little or because of serious fault after the fuse. Assuming we are talking mains fuse then suspects include mains transformer and a few other parts in the power supply or the power amplifier itself. A good amp tech can work this out quickly but I have come across quite a few Ashdown with failed transformers so that would be my first suspect. Ashdown supply replacements for around £100.

40hz Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I had the same problem and it ended up being the mains transformer, Ashdown replaced it for around £75 and it was a quick turnaround time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
