What kind of fuse does the Triple Rectifier need?

My fuse blew on the Triple Rectifier....what kind of fuse do I need, where do I go Radioshack?

I found a box at Home Depot, Im not sure if Radio Shack has them or not.

Take your burnt one with you and make sure you get one of those slow burn type. I think its a 4 amp slow burn fuse. They sell boxes for around 5-6 dollars. If you put another one in and it blows you might take it to a tech and get it checked out.

Good Luck

got the slo blow fuses and put one in and ZZZZZT!

The amp is in the shop and it does have all new power tubes and pre amp tubes (all mesa)

turns out I blew two brand new Mesa 6L6's on the far left side....they had to be rebiased... Think Ill be selling because I like the Roadking alot more than the triple rectifier.

Was going to say - when you blow a fuse, it's never a bad fuse. I've blown two so far, and it's always been power tubes. One was with my TR and the other with my XTC. With the XTC, I had just gotten new tubes. Put them in, biased them, and an hour later I went to play and heard a loud pop before the amp went dead. New power tubes will do it too!

Radio Shack sells them
Slo-Blo I believe 4amp. I would have to look at home to confirm.
