Where is the fuse ?
If you don't see a fuse holder from outside the amp it is because fuse is inside

Frontman use 1 amp Fast blow fuse.
Fuse size is AGC ? I don't know. Don't put more the 1 amp and only Fast blow

Fuse is on the circuit board close to the headphone jack.

There are a reason why fuse blow ; issue with amp or if you are lucky it because original fuse is cheap or old.
Buy at least 2 fuses.

Thanks! Is there an easy way to take apart the amp? It looks like take the knobs off and pull all the screws you see. thanks again.

I did not know this amp, but I work on lots of Fender amps and they are all the same;

No need to take knobs off. It is one piece amp chassis.
Just remove 4 big screw on top you see and pull chassis from the rear. Hold chassis with one hand
