I tried both slow-blow fuses and fast-acting fuses, the fast acting fuses are blown immediately, and the slow blow fuses allow the amp to turn on, but it doesn't work correctly. The amp is a fender personal small amp. How can the amp be fixed?
If this is a solid state amp, the fuse is the only user repairable item. If the slow-blow fuse holds, but the amp doesn't sound right, it will require the assistance of a trained repair technician, which I am. Sorry for the bad news. If you will give a detailed description of what doesn't work correctly means, I will reply with my opinion of the seriousness of the repair. I assume this is a solid state amp? If it's one of the old tube type amps, you might be in luck. I could talk you through the fix. Good luck.
There's an excess current drain in the amp. A component has failed and needs to be replaced. Replacing the fuse won't be of any help until the amp is repaired. Without technical know-how yourself, you'll need to take the amp to someone that can fix it for you.
