jimbartlett Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi guys, I want to buy some backup fuses for my Mesa 400+ just in case one goes at a gig. Can anyone tell me where to get one from? On the amp it says "8A Slo Blo" but the fuse inside is a "4A Slo Blo". The acutal fuse says "250V BUSSMDL 4A". I am getting quite confused and I popped into Maplin but they didn't have any 4A Slo Blo fuses. Thanks in advance for any help! Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'll take mine apart in the next few days and tell you what it says I could do with some myself thinking about it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbartlett Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 I went to Maplin and had a chat with the guy about this. He sold me some 6.3A Time Delay fuses which he said would work fine. They cost £2.69 for a pack of ten too!
