MESA 400+ Fuse

[jimbartlett]

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.

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

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!

Fuses come in different physical sizes too, typically 20mm or 32mm. 20mm is common, so you probably want this...

I would go with what it says on the amp any day!
